XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/APC/INGO/4980United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAccess to Education for Returnees, IDPs and Host children from Nangarhar and Kandhahar ProvincesSCI has been operating in Afghanistan since 1976, and is currently implementing various projects under Education, Child Protection, Health and Nutrition, Livelihoods and DRR in nine provinces of Afghanistan including the proposed target provinces of Nangarhar and Kandahar. Since July 2016, Afghanistan has witnessed an influx of returnees from Pakistan and Iran, most of whom are settling in Nangarhar, Kandahar and Kabul provinces. Based on various assessments conducted, these returnees are in need of immediate humanitarian support to address their food, shelter, health, education and protection.
SCI held initial discussions with PED/DED under the Ministry of Education to identify the actual needs of education within public schools and the wider community. Further consultations and discussions by DED and school head teachers indicate a gap in the provision of education services for the Returnees and IDP communities, as well as challenges for host communities who live a significant distance from the nearest public school.
The proposed project is aimed at providing access to education to a total 4500 children from Returnees, IDPs and Host communities, including 3000 children (50% girls) in Behsud and Kuzkunar districts of Nangarhar and 1500 children(40%cgirls) from Kandahar city in Kandahar province. Based on the information from DED Kandahar and Head Teachers of the schools from targeted areas, a total 17021 children are out of schools. The project will enroll out of schools children those are identified by DED and schools.
The project will establish up to 100 Temporary Learning Classes (TLCs) for returnees, IDPs and host children from Nangarhar and Kandahar provinces, including additional classrooms in existing schools and the creation of Community Based Education (CBE) classes at community level where distances to existing schools are too great. Furthermore, the project will provide teaching and learning materials to TLCs and public schools, and recruit and train teachers for TLCs and public schools. The CBE classes will be established in locations where public schools are more than three KM away. Under the CBE, a total of 4500 children will be covered from both provinces of which 50% will be girls from Nangarhar and 40% form Kandahar.
The project will hire 17 Community Mobilisers for supporting classes, establishing and train PTA.
In order to staff the CBE/TLCs with appropriate personnel, the project will recruit and train 110 teachers, including 100 for CBE and TLCs and 10 teachers to be deployed in schools as a requisite to increase their student enrollment capacity.
In addition to providing support to improving the learning environment, SCI will also address the physical capacity gaps of 15 public schools (10 Nangarhar and 5 Kandahar) including by establishing much-needed additional classes in the school compounds, undertaking minor renovations, providing teaching learning materials and stationary, and installing gender-sensitive WASH facilities. The latter intervention will allow an additional 500 out-of-school children (375 from NGR and 125 KDR) to enroll in existing public schools of which at least 50% are girls from Nangarhar and 40% from Kandahar provinces.
A total of 20 Parents Teachers Association (PTAs) with 200 members of which 50% will be female will be established to support protective and inclusive learning classes, enrollment, and retention in the CBE classes. The PTAs will also be trained on child protection issues and community-based child protection reporting mechanisms in order to protect children.
30 student clubs will be established in (15 public schools) for ensuring child participation in school and ensuring reporting on child protection related issues. Each student club will have at least 5 members those will receive orientation on identification of child protection issues and reporting mechanism.Save the Children FundSave the Children FundAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAna Maria LocsinCountry Director +93 729 904 500Ana.Locsin@savethechildren.orgRahmatullah ShamsAward Management Coordinator +93794629155rahmatullah.shams@savethechildren.orgBobby F.

Through intensive coordination with the Education in Emergencies (EiE) working group and Kabul and Nangarhar’s Provincial Education Departments (PEDs), as well as field surveys in local schools and informal settlements (ISETs), ACTED and Children in Crisis (CIC) have identified high unmet education needs, that expose returnee children to protection threats and reduce their ability to sustainably reintegrate into the Afghan society.
ACTED will supply ten existing overcrowded schools in all five identified Nangarhar districts, including five girls’ schools, with the materials that they need to properly run classes and integrate returnee caseloads. These schools will benefit from the provision of separate latrine facilities for boys and girls (output 1). In addition, ACTED and CiC will work to set up 75 temporary Community-Based Education (CBE) classrooms in ten underserved ISETs in Behsud, Rodat and Jalalabad districts and in five KIS. These CBE classes will all be properly equipped, with separate latrines for boys and girls. Students enrolling in these ISETs CBEs will receive learning materials (output 2).
A total of 85 local and returnee teachers will be recruited, trained and paid to teach in overcrowded schools supported by ACTED (10 teachers), and in ACTED and CIC’s CBE classes in ISETs (75 teachers) so that they are equipped and trained to teach CBE curriculum. ACTED will provide all schools with teaching materials for CBE. ACTED and CIC will then run 9-month CBE programmes in their CBE classes in ISETs. This project will particularly aim to promote girls’ education, and both ACTED and CIC will mainstream protection principles in all project activities.
ACTED will also advocate for the creation of provincial placement staff positions within Nangarhar and Kabul’s PEDs to conduct grade equivalency tests across the provinces in order to determine the education level of returnee students who cannot document their current level of education. Currently these placement tests require that the returnee students attend testing in Kabul. Aware that such a journey for a minor is both financially challenging as well as dangerous, ACTED will advocate for the setting up of a province-level placement mechanism for ensuring students are appropriately placed academically.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentChildren in CrisisAfghanistan Humanitarian FundThibault LaroseCountry Director+93728427169thibault.larose@acted.orgOlivier FabreCountry Finance Manager+9328427156olivier.fabre@acted.orgJan SindelarProject Development Manager+93 (0) 728 427 171jan.sindelar@acted.orgKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Protection348752.44128638.19477390.63Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development286434.38Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development129259.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/APC/NGO/5020United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsUrgent Assistance Gaps and Reduce ERW Casualties Among Conflict Displaced /Civilians in North , North East and East Regions of AfghanistanThis project application is prepared in response to OCHA request for grant application to conduct humanitarian mine action (explosives ordinance disposal (EOD), Mine Risk Education (MRE), spot-clearance and survey of hazardous areas) in, Balkh, Faryab, Jowzjan, Samangan, Suri Pul, Badakhshan, Takhar, Kundoz, Baghlan, Nangarhar, Laghman, Kunar and Noristan provinces to assist recent war affected communities in urgent need.
MDC used the information and data which was provided by OCHA, UNOPS and the result of MDC’s initial assessment. Based on the above mentioned data and assessments, MDC found that the civilian in the above mentioned sites including (women, girls, men, and boys) face continuously to the risk of ERW when returning to their own communities. The lack of knowledge about the ERW causes continuous loss of live, obstacles and disruption to access to education, health and other socio-economic activities. So, to provide safe land for the civilian, MDC proposes to deploy 8 (MRE/EOD/Survey/ Spot-Clearance) cross trained teams, 16 MRE teams and 1 mobile project office for 6 months. These teams will conduct the MRE, survey and marking, ERW clearance/disposal of hazards where the civilians are at risk. This will make sure that the impacted communities are educated on mine/ERW risks, the hazardous areas are surveyed and marked, and all known ERWs are disposed. As a result the number of mine/ERW victims will be reduced significantly and the socio-economic activities will be started.
Each (MRE/EOD/Survey/Spot-Clearance) team is consist of 5 person. 1 team leader/Paramedic with function of command/control, leading and medical first aid provision to related team. Two MRE trainers (couple) for conducting mine/ERW risk education in targeted communities, EOD/survey operator for spot clearance and survey and 1 guard for keeping care of base camp of the team.
Based on our calculation and last 27 years experiences the mentioned resources will enable us to achieve the project’s goals and objectives efficiently and effectively. All the above mentioned resources will be deployed in compliance to AMAS, IMAS and application of the MDC approved SOPs.
MDC will conduct regular supervision, monitoring and quality control, of the project’s activities. The project teams will be supported efficiently and effectively in the field. The project will be managed effectively and efficiently at micro and macro levels. And the project progress will be reported to the donor on time based on requirement.

The current conflict in 32 out of 34 provinces created problem to all gender type of the residents includes men, women, girls, boys, and mine/ERW amp conflict victims, a huge percentage of the mentioned population have been displaced and fled their hometown, the number of casualties have been increased.
The project intend to have two major component of crossed trained survey/EOD MRE where 5 teams will be deployed in 374 conflict and mine/ERW affected communities in 64 districts of 11 provinces by providing MRE training, survey of small ERW contaminated areas and destruction of spot ERW/UXB for 93,000 individuals, and the second component is provision of Mine Risk Education (MRE) for 106 mine affected communities in 26 districts of 5 provinces where 12 MRE teams will be deployed and will train a total of 115,200 individuals on dangers of mine and ERW to change their behavior.
Since OMAR MRE, demining and Survey/EOD teams are currently working in north amp northeast Takhar, Baghlan, and Kunduz, in south Kandahar, Helmand, Uruzgan, and Zabul, in southeast Ghazni, Khost, in east Kunar, Laghman, and Nangarhar, and in western Hirat, Farah, and Ghor provinces, the assessment done by OMAR field personnel shows that some of the most at-risk communities from mines and ERW contamination and conflict affected communities at the moment are living in the provinces of Kabul, Kapisa, Logar, Maidanwardak, Panjsher, Parwan, Helmand, Kandahar, Uruzgan, Zabul, and Nimroz provinces. The assessment of the communities at risk also took into consideration and shows that the rising number of civilian casualties in the provinces. This displacement caused to loss their basic right of health, sanitation water, food, school for children, women right, gender equality, and so on.
To mitigate the threat that poses to the lives and livelihoods of civilians, the tool used to do this is mine and ERW risk education and elimination of ERW.
By Implementation of this project in 11 out of 34 provinces 5 crossed trained and 12 CB MRE teams will be deployed to reach the above mentioned target by provision of mine/ERW risk education in IDP camps and host communities, and elimination of spot ERW to mine/ERW and conflict affected population not only to prevent further disability, but also will change their behavior to live in a peaceful environment and honoring the victims.
Provision of mine risk education training and elimination of spot ERW in the communities by EOD cross trained MRE teams which consist of a level iii EOD specialist as team leader, one male and one female trainers will reach all type of sex and gender such as women, men, boys, girls, and victims equally.
All member of the teams are qualified to conduct MRE training, the teams will regularly provide mine risk education sessions to the targeted population, when there is request or need for EOD survey, then they can respond to the task given upon completion of the survey and resume MRE operations.Organization for Mine clearance Afghan RehabilitationOrganization for Mine clearance Afghan RehabilitationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundZekria PayabDeputy Director Operations TQM0093 777 322 127zekriap@gmail.comMohammad ArifDeputy Director Admin Finance0093 777 322 126arif.omar@gmail.comHilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Kapisa34.98105720 69.62145620Logar34.01455180 69.19239160Nimroz31.02614880 62.45041540Panjsher35.88333300 69.11666700Parwan34.96309770 68.81088490Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Protection362926.84362926.84Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Mine clearance Afghan Rehabilitation217756.10Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Mine clearance Afghan Rehabilitation145170.74Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Mine clearance Afghan Rehabilitation546.35Organization for Mine clearance Afghan RehabilitationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/APC-ESNFI/INGO/5015United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Shelter and NFI Stock Replenishment and Stockpiling to Meet the Needs of the Most Vulnerable Displaced in Eastern and Western AfghanistanThe project aims to procure, strategically pre-position and store 1600 emergency stock in DRC’s strategic hubs in Jalalabad and in Herat. Warehousing capacity can be guaranteed as DRC has an established presence in both locations where Emergency Teams are already delivering Emergency Shelter and NFIs to families displaced by either armed conflict or natural disaster. Specifically, DRC plans to pre-position 900 NFI kits and 200 Emergency Shelter in Jalalabad and 400 NFI kits and 100 Emergency Shelter in Herat. The proposed project is for 6 months during which – as well as after – these stocks will be available for distribution by Partners allowing them to rapidly respond to an unpredictable humanitarian situation where increasing numbers of families are displaced by armed conflict and natural disaster. Upon release, this will assist 11,200 individuals based on an average household size of 7. The project will also be undertaken in coordination with other Partners, the ES/NFI Cluster and OCHA. The possibility of a joint procurement will also be explored by adding other Partners to DRC’s existing Framework Agreements with Suppliers. If required by the ES/NFI Cluster, DRC will also be able to respond owing to its rapid response capacity in both Herat and Jalalabad. This project will complement the ERM as it will increase the general emergency preparedness of ES/NFI Cluster partners and cover the gaps currently not met by ERM partners. The ERM is currently under revision and further procurement may not be needed (hence some gaps in future emergency preparedness) because enough stocks to meet future targets have already been prepositioned under the ERM 6. Therefore, Envelope 4 would provide a good opportunity to complement existing processes and structures to ensure the continued support to more families likely to be displaced by armed conflict in the course of 2017 and likely to be affected by natural disaster, particularly during the spring months which are associated with seasonal flooding due to the melting of snow and onset of spring rains. Coordination with other Partners involved in the pre-positioning of stocks will be undertaken in Jalalabad and Herat and opportunities to include them in DRC’s Framework Agreements will be explored.Danish Refugee CouncilDanish Refugee CouncilAfghanistan Humanitarian FundJaka MagomaHead of Program- DRC+93 (0) 793 40 5329hop.afghanistan@drc-afg.orgSumitra MukherjeeDRC-DDG Country Director+93(0) 793 78 9922cd.drc.ddg.afghanistan@drc.dkAndrea MalatestaEmergency Program Manager+93(0) 794 102341emergency.pm@drc-afg.orgAnne Marie KirstensenHead of Finance and Administration+93 (0) 793 612649hofa.afghanistan@drc.dkHirat34.34194400 62.20305600Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Emergency Shelter and NFI284780.39284780.39Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council227824.31Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council56832.13Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council9728.38Danish Refugee CouncilUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/APC-H/INGO/4985United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsCommunity-based Child Protection and Mother and Child Health for vulnerable populations in Nangarhar and Laghman Provinces - Isthema project 3Since Dec. 2015, Tdh has been implementing a project called Ishtema (meaning “community” in Dari and Pashto languages) through CHF funding in Nangarhar, then in Nangarhar and Kunar and now Tdh will scale up its activities with this third phase proposed in highly affected by return, of Nangarhar and Laghman provinces.
The project intends to strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable returnees, IDPs and host community/conflict affected population in isolated areas of Nangarhar and Laghman by the end of May 2018 : by reducing vulnerabilities through access to information on CP, non- formal MRE, and RMNCH (prevention), by addressing specific needs through community delivered life-saving psycho-social services, direct provision of RMNCH care and case management system (protection) and by strengthening community based protection mechanisms of Community Based Child Protection Committee (CBCPC) and volunteers.
In the area of intervention selected by Tdh, is contaminated by UXO, especially in Nangarhar. According to DMAC, approximately 70 incidents occurred due to mines in the eastern provinces in 2016. DMAC and Tdh will continue to train CBCPC on non-formal MRE (DMAC) and CPiE (Tdh). The CBCPC will deliver the training within their community in order to raise awareness and mitigate the risk of casualties and child protection concern.
Daily basis life-saving PSS activities in the villages will be delivered to improving copying mechanism of children and to detect the most vulnerable children in need of further assistance. Tdh will provide case management and direct assistance for the most vulnerable families identified.
Tdh RMNCH activities proposed are based on the successful and long term experience acquired in outreach experience Kabul Informal settlements. In the proposed project, Tdh’s midwife will carry out home to home visits, to identify pregnant and lactating women, to provide perinatal care, postnatal care, to prepare birth preparedness plan, and newborn care. They will encourage women to have safe delivery, and convince husband and family about the importance of accessing to Health service provider.
Tdh midwives will advocate and support vaccination especially during the health education sessions based on material developed by MoPH. The topics will cover hygiene and sanitation, danger signs of pregnancy, childbirth and newborn, nutrition during pregnancy, breastfeeding.
Tdh’s actions will help reduce the risk of mortality by better identification of the poorest, most vulnerable and conservative population and by diminishing the risk of delivery without skilled attendant. Tdh will work in close collaboration with WHO, MoPH, and the entire Health cluster member to ensure a smooth and efficient collaboration and continue to improve RMNCH and combat child and maternal mortality of the region.
This 12-month project (from 1st June 2017 to 30th May 2018) will be implemented in the eastern provinces as follows:
- In Nangarhar: Sukhod (10 villages), Behsud (10 villages), Kama (10 villages), Rodat (10 villages), KuzKunar (8 villages).
- In Laghman: Qaraghayi (10 villages) and Mihtarlam (6 villages)
In Nangarhar and Laghman, around 370,102 Afghan refugees (documented and undocumented) have been registered after they return from Pakistan, where conflict induced 39,300 IDPs in 2016 and where high presence of prolonged IDP were reported by the REACH report. Tdh will continue to target the most vulnerable among the vulnerable individuals (IDP, returnee and host community). The data collected during Ishtema activities will be shared with cluster and OCHA regularly and when relevant will be shared with other partner for further support for the area where Tdh intervene. The sustainability and relevancy of the proposed project will be reinforced by integrating lessons learned of the evaluation realized in Dec. 2016 by ATR consulting, and by continuing working and empowering a network of volunteers

The intervention will help to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of internally displaced people and families within the targeted provinces of Badakhshan, Takhar and Baghlan as well as those fleeing to these provinces to seek shelter from ongoing fighting in adjacent provinces such as Kunduz. Activities proposed under this project are prepositioning and stocking of tents and emergency shelter material in the aforementioned provinces to ensure timely assistance to the families looking for shelter in camps or informal settlements. Besides this, Non-Food Items (NFI) kits, conforming to the specifications of the ESNFI Cluster, will also be prepositioned for use by the families living in camps and informal settlements and with host communities. The intervention will target an estimated total of 1,458 families or about 10,644 people, using requested project funds as well as Mission East’s own in-kind contribution of prepositioned NFI kits.
The stock levels proposed for prepositioning - 35% of NFI gap coverage and 11% of tent gap coverage of expected caseloads in the north-east – have been determined on the basis of the latest Gap Analysis prepared by the ESNFI Cluster. The somewhat low percentage of tent stocks prepositioned will be supplemented in two ways: one, from Mission East’s mainstream programme which has available earmarked resources and the logistical arrangements in place for rapid procurement, stocking and distribution as per need at the time of crisis and two, using its existing relationships with other humanitarian actors in the region such as Concern Afghanistan for a more coordinated response. Based on recent consultations and our past experience of working together in 2016 for the Kunduz IDP crisis in Takhar, Mission East and Concern Afghanistan have agreed to collaborate closely during all assessment and prepositioning activities in Takhar and Badakhshan over the coming six months. Based on organisational capacities and geographic presence, Mission East with take the lead in Badakhshan with the support of Concern and Concern will lead the response in Takhar with the support of Mission East. Mission East will respond individually in Baghlan.
Mission East has considerable experience of prepositioning relief supplies for unexpected crises, both as part of its long-running Danida-funded mainstream programme and its implementation of the ECHO-funded Emergency Response Mechanism in 2012-2014.It maintains the capacity of running the warehouses even after the proposed project duration with funding support from other donors and drawing upon its well-established relationships of trust with local suppliers, transporters, warehouse owners and local market actors. The prepositioning locations proposed for the intervention are strategically selected to cover the areas where the chances of relocation are high to avoid time wastage and transportation at the time of crisis. Prepositioning locations are strategically defined based on lessons learnt from previous experience and understanding of needs and on Mission East’s available infrastructure and resources and its high degree of access to hard-to-reach areas in the region. Mission East’s activities are and will continue to be coordinated closely with local stakeholders such as the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA), the Provincial Disaster Management Committees (PDMC), the Department of Refugees and Repatriation (DoRR), UN OCHA, the Clusters and other humanitarian organizations.

A significant number of communities are exposed to ongoing and deepening insecurity along with frequent shocks from natural disasters.
In response to growing humanitarian needs Concern Afghanistan is preparing for effective emergency responses over the coming 12 months. Of particular Concern Afghanistan is the growing insecurity in Kunduz which borders Takhar to the west. The agency has played a lead role during both Kunduz IDP crisis in Takhar in 2015 and 2016. Concern Afghanistan is preparing for an emergency of similar nature and scale over the duration of this project.
The agency also responds to a number of natural disasters on an annual basis. The agency has responded to three avalanches since January this year alone. Furthermore, flooding is expected over the coming months along with landslides and possible earthquakes.
During the emergency response Concern Afghanistan will actively support the Government of Afghanistan (GoA) agencies such as ANDMA, DACAAR and DoRR while also activating their contingency plans and deploy a team of gender balanced HEAT trained staff to conduct joint assessments with relevant agencies (consultations are already underway between Mission East and Concern Afghanistan). The assessment results will be used to identify the needs of those affected and to inform any subsequent response, including roles and responsibilities of participating agencies based on the comparative advantage of each. All information collected will be sex disaggregated and assessments will include an analysis of the needs of males and females (where different from overall needs).
During recent consultations and based on our past experience of working together in 2016 for the Kunduz IDP crisis in Takhar, Concern Afghanistan and Mission East have agreed to closely collaborate during all assessments and ES NFI distributions in Takhar and Badakhshan provinces organised in response to IDP emergencies over the coming 12 months. Based on organisational capacities and geographic presence, Concern Afghanistan will lead the response in Takhar with the support of Mission East and Mission East with take the lead in Badakhshan with support of Concern Afghanistan. Collectively both agencies will meet the immediate needs (ES NFIs only) of up to a potential 17,644 individuals who could be displaced between three provinces (Takhar and Badakhshan Concern Afghanistan amp Mission East Baghlan Mission East only).
During both IDP crisis in 2015 and 2016 a number of gender protection issues were highlighted (i.e. unaccompanied females, over crowded tents, lack of female sanitary/hygiene items) which Concern Afghanistan seeks to address these issues in any forthcoming emergencies.

Secondarily prolonged IDPs and vulnerable host community members found in the vicinity, and who meet the set vulnerability criteria, will also be targeted for support. The project, implemented directly by the Norwegian Refugee Council, continuing recent and long-standing interventions in these areas, is aligned with the CHF Allocation Strategy Envelopes 2, 3, and 4, and has been coordinated through relevant fora, notably the Emergency Shelter/NFI Cluster, Education in Emergency (EiE) Working Group, and the Afghanistan Protection Cluster. The multi-sectoral approach is intended to be more effective and cost-efficient, allowing a more comprehensive solution for the most vulnerable displacement-affected communities.
Shelter: Both transitional and emergency shelter solutions will be delivered in eastern Afghanistan. Since the sudden onset of refugee returns, NRC (with CHF and SIDA funding) erected over 2,000 emergency and transitional shelters. Resources are now fully exhausted, and yet needs are extant and emerging. NRC will provide a further 500 transitional shelters with household (HH) latrines (reducing protection risks of women and girls). These interventions will protect from the physical elements approximately 3,820 men (16%), women (17%), boys (35%), and girls (32%), safeguard their dignity, reduce illness and emergency-related death in Nangarhar (60%), Laghman (30%), and Kunar (10%). Given the complexity of secure tenure in shelter programming, the Protection component outlined below is necessary as a complementary intervention for Extremely Vulnerable Households (EVHH).
EiE: NRC will scale up its current service provision of 120 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) (primarily funded through Norwegian MFA and SIDA), by a further 160 TLS, particularly in communities substantially supported with shelter interventions in eastern Afghanistan, but also in southern Afghanistan. This increases the absorptive capacity of approximately 45 formal host community schools, providing EiE for a further 7,200 returnee boys (50%) and girls (50%) in Nangarhar (40%), Laghman (10%), Kunar (15%), and Kandahar (35%). In schools with inadequate WASH facilities, gender-segregated school latrine blocks will also be provided. The project will recruit 160 teachers (50% female) amongst the undocumented returnee communities, and conduct community sensitisation (in line with the EiE WG ‘Back to Learning’ campaign), which may be combined with hygiene promotion sessions reducing open defecation and improving hygiene practices (a further 12,000 boys and girls in the catchment area will benefit from these ‘WASH-for-EiE’ interventions).
Protection: NRC will direct its longstanding Information, Counselling, and Legal Assistance (ICLA) programme to provide legal services for protection cases and principled referrals, primarily targeting returnees in eastern Afghanistan, but also those found in southern and central parts. The project also targets prolonged IDPs and vulnerable host community members in the vicinity, with counselling and legal assistance pertaining to civil documentation and Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights, referring displaced individuals to other protection service providers and to assist them access other essential services, promoting their protection and an early recovery for their households and communities. NRC will provide dedicated legal counselling and assistance to approximately 2,538 returnee and prolonged IDP EVI in the provinces of Nangarhar (50%), Kunar (15%), Laghman (15%) and Kabul (20%). It will also provide capacity-building and legal awareness to a further 600 beneficiaries. Accordingly, the total number of direct beneficiaries reached through ICLA programming is 3,138.Norwegian Refugee CouncilNorwegian Refugee CouncilAfghanistan Humanitarian FundWilliam CarterHead of Programme+93 795 271 621william.carter@nrc.no Elelta BeyeneGrants Manager+93 799 297 403elelta.beyene@nrc.noAhmadzai AndarFinance Manager+93 708 828 213ahmadzai.andar@nrc.noKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Laghman34.68976870 70.14558050Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Emergency Shelter and NFIProtection1424914.12700777.432125691.55Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council1275414.93Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council793493.20Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council5460.12Norwegian Refugee CouncilUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/FSAC/INGO/5031United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsResponse to food security and protection needs of prolonged IDP populations through the lean season in Maydan Wardak and Khost ProvincesThe conflict increase has resulted in many IDPs in the last two years in Afghanistan and notably in the Khost and Wardak Provinces. Most of those displaced families stay for several months or years in their arrival location, due to insecurity in their home. Those prolonged IDPs rarely find livelihood opportunities and have to survive on small unstable income sources. In Wardak and Khost Provinces, 15,022 prolonged IDPs have settled between 2015 and 2016.
Following a Household Emergency Assessment (HEAT) conducted in March 2017 SI identified 1,500 families among those displaced people, who are in a situation of chronic food insecurity. To cope with a lack of access to food, those families adopt critical coping strategies leading to protection risks. During the upcoming lean season, the food insecurity of those populations will become exacerbated if not addressed immediately.
Through the proposed project, SI will support 10,515 individuals who are the most vulnerable among all prolonged IDPs from May to Oct. 2017. Households with Specific Needs such as women headed households, children headed households… will be supported in priority.
Among the 10,515 targeted individuals, 4,010 are located in Maydan Shahr and Nirkh districts (Wardak Province) and 6,506 in Khost Matun, Gurbuz and Mandozayi districts (Khost Province).
According to the REACH assessment on prolonged IDPs and to the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster’s strategy, Wardak and Khost Provinces are priorities in terms of prolonged displacement and food insecurity.
To address immediate risks and vulnerabilities, SI will implement a food distribution to all beneficiaries to cover their food needs during two months in the lean season.
Each family will receive a cash grant through two installments of 6,000 Aghanis. Each grant is based on the FSAC standard basket, calculated to cover daily needs of 2,100 Kcal per person for an average family of seven persons. The use of unconditional cash transfer will ensure the efficiency of the aid, by letting beneficiaries cover their priority needs. Local procurement will in addition contribute to support the depleted local economy. The program will meet CHF requirements for Cash Based Interventions.
Among those vulnerable displaced populations, some families have additional vulnerabilities due to social, medical, legal or security issues. Those families therefore need to be protected with a specific and dedicated assistance that goes beyond distributing assistance. The project will include an integrated protection component in the frame of other activities: SI will identify and refer protection risks to other relevant stakeholders (NGOs, public services, UN agencies…) with specific referral mechanism
SI will also ensure that good practices are enforced to avoid harming beneficiaries.
Overall, the project will contribute to addressing immediate humanitarian needs and to mitigating shock induced acute vulnerabilities in the two Provinces, through two specific objectives:
- Ensure access to food during the lean season for severely food insecure prolonged IDPs to mitigate negative coping strategies and risks of acute malnutrition
- Identify and refer protection concerns to ensure beneficiaries’ dignity, rights, safety and well-beingSolidarites InternationalSolidarites InternationalAfghanistan Humanitarian FundChristophe VAVASSEURAsia Desk Manager+33 176 21 86 40christophe.vavasseur@solidarites.orgLuis DE PINHO DE SANTOSCountry Director+93 771 939 523afg.cdm@solidarites-afghanistan.orgThomas BRAINAdministrative Coordinator+93 779 309 478afg.adm.coo@solidarites-afghanistan.org Robin LAUREmergency Coordinator+93 766 775 181afg.agro.coo@solidarites-afghanistan.orgKhost33.35850790 69.85974060Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Food Security501002.60501002.60Afghanistan Humanitarian FundSolidarites International300601.56Afghanistan Humanitarian FundSolidarites International198740.51Afghanistan Humanitarian FundSolidarites InternationalAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/FSAC/INGO/5172United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency survival support to the prolonged IDPs affected by conflict disaster displaced in Ghor and Helmand provinces.The proposed intervention seeks to provide food security survival assistance to vulnerable prolonged IDPs households of Ghor province and Helmand province affected by conflict disaster enduring prolonged periods of displacement (6 months to 2 years) and with it, enhanced vulnerability. Having lost their assets, and their source of livelihoods (agricultural lands and livestock abandoned during displacement), these families heavily relies on external support to provide for their essential needs, including food, non-food items, and health care. Yet, due to low presence of humanitarian actors in Ghor and Helmand provinces, and stretched coping capacities of host communities to support them, they have received so far no to little assistance, and are in dire need of assistance to cope during lean season of 2017.
To this end, ACF will be undertaking unconditional cash distribution for 1700 vulnerable prolonged conflicted induced IDPs households of Ghor and Helmand provinces, amongst which a large share of prolonged conflict IDPs who have been assisted by ACF (as part of its ERM project). The cash distribution will be based on guideline on FSAC cluster food basket and the FSAC Cluster HRP guidance.
Modality selected by ACF for all the targeted households it will be assisting in Ghor and Helmand provinces is DIRECT CASH, after identifying the vulnerable prolonged IDPs, ACF will issue voucher and disburse the cash in two months covering their immediate food needs of two months based on FSAC standard package of 2100 Kcal/person/day.
The market systems continue to function in targeted areas of Helmand and Ghor provinces. According to the HEAT assessment findings all the IDPs have physical access to Markets, the access have never been limited by security threats or physical constraints. ACF has been conducting market surveillance under ERM project in Ghor and Helmand provinces with regards to supply and price conditions which has confirmed the availability of food and NFIs. All items were found to be available in sufficient quantity and at affordable prices. Ferozkoh and Laskhkargah, being the province capitals, host a major market that continues to function even during harsh winter in Ferozkoh city and massive conflict around Laskhkargah city. This led to the adoption of a Cash Based Intervention approach for the IDPs against in-kind assistance. The HEAT assessment evidenced that all the IDPs can reach to the nearest functional market within 42 minutes.
Delivery of cash to the beneficiaries will be through the existing Hawala system (with presence of ACF staffs), an informal remittance system, prevalent and effective in the country and in Ghor and Helmand provinces. ACF has been using the Hawala system since 2008 with successful results. A distribution plan will be developed to include the scheduling, cash distribution points taking careful consideration on security, mitigate risks, and not to disrupt market prices.
Technologies such as mobile phone networks are vulnerable to ongoing conflicts in Ghor and Helmand provinces (mobile communication companies are routinely requested by both sides to the conflict to temporarily shut-down network coverage) therefore it seems that mobile money transfer is not relevant. Banks are usually less accessible to vulnerable IDPs, according to HEAT assessment 13% of IDPs have no national ID card, while the rest holding either Tazkira (National ID card) or election card which hamper access to mobile money or bank transfer.
The challenges of National ID With IDPs, availability of banks in project area, coverage of mobile networks, the choice of delivery mechanism through Hawala remains the most efficient and appropriate transfer mechanism. Targeting conflict affected prolonged IDPs families, the project is expected to directly contribute to the Strategic Priority 2017 HRP SO3 “The impact of shock induced acute vulnerability is mitigated in the medium term”Action Contre la FaimAction Contre la FaimAfghanistan Humanitarian FundSalah DaraghmehCountry Director +93 (0) 799566128cd@af.missions-acf.org Anne Roussel Finance Admin Head of Department +93 (0)778179248admin@af.missions-acf.orgEzatullah NooriFood Security Head of Department +93 (0) 787 64 87 44fslhod@af-mission-acf.orgGhor34.09957760 64.90595500Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Food Security491637.98491637.98Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim294982.79Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim194808.06Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la FaimAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/FSAC-ESNFI-WASH-APC-N/INGO/5032United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsREACH support to Cluster Assessments and Information Management in AfghanistanThe proposed action will aim to collect and disseminate key information on informal settlements (ISETs) and the sector-specific needs and vulnerabilities of their inhabitants (Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), prolonged IDPs, returnees, etc.) in four regions of Afghanistan, as well as education and child protection needs and vulnerabilities of displaced populations across the country.
In accordance with current Cluster priorities, REACH, a joint initiative of ACTED and IMPACT Initiatives, ACTED’s sister organization, will carry out:
1) a food security assessment in ISETs of Faryab, Jawzjan, Saripul, Balkh and Samangan provinces (North region) and Herat, Farah, Ghor and Badghis provinces (Western region) and
2) a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Shelter assessment in ISETs of Kabul, Kapisa, Logar (Central region), Paktya, Khost and Paktika provinces (South Eastern region) and Nangarhar, Nuristan, Kunar and Laghman provinces (Eastern region) and
3) a nationwide Education in Emergencies (EiE) and Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) Joint Needs Assessment (JNA).
The assessments will be conducted on the basis of Cluster-endorsed Terms of Reference (ToRs), tools and indicators, and will aim to reach most vulnerable populations (e.g. women, female- or elderly-headed households, etc.). Maps, factsheets and assessment reports will be disseminated, and will help inform humanitarian programming. The project will directly benefit the members of the Afghanistan Protection Cluster (APC), WASH, Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (ESNFI) and Food Security and Agriculture (FSAC) Clusters, and will indirectly benefit the population of ISETs across 19 provinces and other displaced populations nationwide.
As demonstrated by a number of reports (e.g. REACH’s Food Security Assessment in Kabul and Nangarhar Amnesty International’s “My Children Will Die This Winter” in ISETs, ISETs are home to vulnerable populations whose humanitarian needs are not sufficiently covered. ISETs populations’ vulnerability is compounded by their isolation and legal status, which increases their exposure to vital threats such as food insecurity, severe acute malnutrition, water-borne and infectious diseases, etc. ISETs are often left out of key national surveys, and therefore little is known about their needs. Population groups that are represented in ISETs were identified as populations of concern in the 2017 HNO and HRP. Of particular concern is the creation or rapid expansion of ISETs, fueled by the arrival of returnees or IDPs. In addition, in the context of widespread and large-scale population displacement, access to education and child protection have become major interrelated concerns across the country. As humanitarian resources allocated to EiE and CPiE are limited, the need for comprehensive assessments to inform needs-based decision-making was stressed by the APC and the Ministry of Education (MoE), and discussed amongst EiE and CPiE partners.
Information collected as part of the action will support the development of life-saving WASH, ESNFI, FSAC and Protection interventions, and will inform the Clusters regarding populations that are not at present sufficiently understood or included in humanitarian planning, supporting the reevaluation of humanitarian thresholds that will serve to determine the eligibility of specific caseloads for specific types of humanitarian assistance and contributing to the development of the next HNO and HRP.
In addition, REACH will provide capacity development to improve the efficiency and impact of the HCT-endorsed Household Emergency Assessment Tool (HEAT) through the development of standard analysis and reporting tools, and 11 trainings, including a Training of Trainers (ToT) aimed at addressing data interpretation and management gaps.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentIMPACT InitiativesAfghanistan Humanitarian FundThibault LaroseACTED Country Director+93 (0) 728 427 169thibault.larose@acted.orgOlivier FabreACTED Country Finance Manager+93 (0) 728427156olivier.fabre@acted.orgJan SindelarACTED Project Development Manager+93 (0) 728 427 171jan.sindelar@acted.orgVincent AnnoniREACH Global Coordinator+ 41 (0) 22 566 2963vincent.annoni@impact-initiatives.orgBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Badghis35.16713390 63.76953840Baghlan35.80429470 69.28775350Balkh36.89091580 67.18944880Bamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Daykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Farah32.49532800 62.26266270Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Jawzjan36.89696920 65.66585680Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Kapisa34.98105720 69.62145620Khost33.35850790 69.85974060Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Laghman34.68976870 70.14558050Logar34.01455180 69.19239160Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Nimroz31.02614880 62.45041540Nuristan35.32502230 70.90712360Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Panjsher35.88333300 69.11666700Parwan34.96309770 68.81088490Samangan35.98072960 67.57085360Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Emergency Shelter and NFIFood SecurityNutritionProtectionWater Sanitation Hygiene642829.23642829.23Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development385697.54Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development244185.44Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/H/INGO/5000United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProvision of Health Services for conflict affected population and displaced population of Farah and Paktia provincesThe project aims to scale up on the current activities with 3 additional CHCs, 1 MHT in Paktia and 4CHCs in Farah and to develop new activities in the already supported HFs.
The overall objective is to ensure that beneficiaries have access to equitable emergency services through:
- An access to emergency health services, effective and qualitative trauma care and a professional mass casualty management
- An access to essential health services for IDPs and returnees leaving in Paktia.
To achieve these objectives, MRCA will:
- Reinforce emergency health services in 2DHs and 9CHCs (5 FATP in Paktia and 4Farah) through provision of equipment, additional health workers and rehabilitation
- Provide sufficient quantity of medical and non-medical equipment, medicines and supplies to cover extra needs linked to mass casualties and conflict affected patients
- Run 1 MHT for IDPs and returnees in 3 townships of Gardez
- Coordinate all activities with other stakeholders in the areas.
For the war-wounded patients MRCA will ensure that:
1) Chamkani and Jajy Aryub DHs have the required trained staff, equipment, supplies and drugs to stay referral trauma centers and are prepared to respond to mass casualties.
2) FATP are implemented in Jani Khail and Tameer CHC to stabilize and treat war wounded patients ER, blood bank supplies, adequate number of trained staff, equipment and supplies needed are available,
3) The capacities of Kolalgo, Machalgo and Sayed Karam CHC are enhanced to stabilize and treat war wounded patients by integrating FATP services with trained staff, equipment and supplies.
4) FATP services are integrated in 4 CHCs in Farah, with rehabilitation of ER room and provision of equipment.
As SEHAT contracts are under re-announcement, a mitigation strategy has been designed for the PH in ensuring and preventing any disruption of activity in the eventuality of a change. For BPHS Farah, the PHD approved MRCA suggestion to integrate 4 FATPs in CHCs and a MoU has been signed with the current implementer.
MRCA will cover the health needs of the IDPs and returnees around Gardez and maintain the activities of the current MHT. Based on the data received from Provincial Migration Department, 32000 persons were settled in February 2017, representing a 39% increase compared to August 2016.
Health workers working in the MHT will receive training on essential PHC with a focus on RH, EMoC and vaccination.Medical Refresher Courses for AfghansMedical Refresher Courses for AfghansAfghanistan Humanitarian FundEstelle NeveuHead of Mission0790587622estelle@mrca-asso.orgDr. Hekmatullah ZadranDeputy Head of Mission0700027912 dr.hekmat@mrca-asso.orgDr. LatifCHF Project coordinator0766146495chfpm.kabul@mrca-asso.orgMohamadullah Niazifinance coordinator0773812969finco@mrca-asso.orgFarah32.49532800 62.26266270Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Health118877.17129808.41248685.58Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMedical Refresher Courses for Afghans149211.35Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMedical Refresher Courses for Afghans99474.23Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMedical Refresher Courses for Afghans30900.31Medical Refresher Courses for AfghansUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/H/INGO/5005United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsLife saving trauma and referral services for conflict affected population in Parwan, Kabul, Ghazni, Kapisa, Paktia, Maidan Wardak Provinces.Within this project proposal, EMERGENCY aims at improving access to essential health services for civilians and conflict affected population, with focus on trauma patients and war wounded and a special attention to vulnerable groups as children, women and people living in white areas providing them life support services. Type of intervention addressed: emergency trauma 24/7 within FATPS (Ghazni, Andar, Kabul, Tagab, Ghurband, Gardez, Sheikabad), OPD trauma services 24/7 and surgical treatment for war trauma patients in Kabul EMERGENCY trauma center. The relevance of the intervention is due to a several increase of the following aspects: within FATPS activities, through a comparison of the overall situation between 2015 and 2016, acquired increase are related to the tot war referrals of 15.88%, the tot non war referrals of 32.87% and the tot patients stabilized and treated of 13.20%. Within Kabul EMERGENCY trauma center, tot patients admitted in 2016 are 8.37% more than those admitted in 2015.
Overall strategy is going to be focused on staff’s training, patients’ referral and treatment.

In the Eastern Region conflict and population movements (either displacements or returns from Pakistan) are depriving thousands of people, particularly women and children, of essential primary healthcare services in their villages. In Nangarhar, conflict affected populations and returnees overlap in catchment areas of health facilities located in Jalalabad and surrounding stable districts, creating a burden on the delivery of services. PU-AMI monitoring of the health systems in the Eastern Region coupled with ongoing programmes, and regular discussions with communities and health stakeholders show that the health system is failing to provide adequate services to the resident and returned/displaced population, requiring a number of targeted and tailored interventions. PU-AMI, which has extensive capacity in the Eastern Region, intends to capitalize on its experience and provide the following support: Continuation of 4 mobile health teams (MHT) in Nangarhar province (Batikot, Kama, Rodat, Chaparhar, Surkhrod, Behsud) in settlement areas for 67,200 IDPs returnees and host population, allowing easy access to quality primary healthcare - Support to Maternity and neonatology wards of Fatime-Tul-Zohra university Hospital in Jalalabad to increase the capacity and quality of services delivered, reducing the burden on Nangarhar Regional Hospital and increasing access for 22540 women beneficiaries of the growing urban population. The planned interventions intend to provide immediate relief and assistance to population in need, while at the same time being inscribed in a vision of integration and consolidation in the larger health system, for the proper sustainability and continuation of services after the end of the project.PREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALEPREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALEAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAndrea TrevisanHead of Mission0093791900781afg.hom@pu-ami.orgDr Sayed Mohsin HashimiDeputy Head of Mission0093779900789afg.deputy.hom@pu-ami.orgConstanza BalanyaFinance Coordinator0093779900783afg.finco@pu-ami.orgNangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Health280879.12199120.88480000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALE288000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALE192000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALEAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/H/NGO/4966United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProvision of trauma care, primary and referral services to people in conflict affected districts in Helmand province.The project will cover over 308,858 population living in the catchment area of the target health facilities (HFs) where FATPs will be integrated in the 9 priority districts in Helmand province.

An estimated population of over 21,932 will be direct beneficiaries of the project (9252 for FATPs, 8900 MHT and 3780 for TCs in DHs).
Each of the seven planned integrated FATPs will be staffed with 3 Nurses and 2 guards and will provide 24/7 trauma care services to the population of the area. TCs in DHs will be staffed with a Surgeon, 1 anesthetist, 1 OT nurse, 1 ward nurse and 1 guard/cleaner along with an ambulance. The ambulance will provide referral services for complicated cases out to the higher level facilities. Ambulance will also be used for collecting patients from nearby locations and in case of mass casualties. MHT will be staffed with an MD/Nurse, a midwife and one vaccinator. MHT will provide PHC and basic RH services along with vaccination services in pre-identified SDPs in IDP communities and white areas. All staff will be trained on trauma care, IP and waste management.
An independent team with support of BPHS project in field and ACTD main office teams will manage project implementation in the province. The team assigned will be stationed in Lashkargah with frequent travel to the sites of activities based on the plan. The project will start on 01 July 2017 and ends on 30 June 2018.
Implementation of services will be carried out in close coordination with all stakeholders including communities and groups involved in different locations in the province.
The project will be regularly sportively supervised by the project team and ACTD main office team. Effective reporting system will be in place and technical and financial reports to OCHA will be submitted based on agreed timelines. Only one FAPT (Aliabad) will remain from the last project. The six new FATPs will be in the new locations , new staff and new activities. Based on current war in Aliabad the FATP will remain active in the area. Clear coordination is in place with Emergency and MSF, new FAPTs site selection are in close coordination with Emergency and MSF. There are no sites of Emergency near to the selected sites, a meeting was conducted with Emergency and all relevant issues discussed.

The following interventions and related activities are planned as per the assessments made and the lessons learned in the past.
1. Support trauma care services in high risk provinces not fully covered by routine EPHS and BPHS services. The activity will include upgrading trauma care services through organization of space for trauma case management, provision of necessary training, equipment and supplies to priority hospitals in Imam Sahib DH of Kunduz, Shah joy DH of Zabul and Keshim DH in Badakshan provinces that are under high risk of conflict. This activity also will include establishment of four new FATPs in Kandahar (Maiwand and Shawalikot) Urzghan (Gizab), Kapisa (Alasay) through YHDO and AHDS (NGOs).
Additional activity for upgrading trauma care includes establishment of FATPs in high priority districts of Logar Province including integrated FATPs at Charkh CHC, Barikibarak DH and MohammadAgha (Zarghoonshar) CHC.
2. Two mobile health teams in Maywand and Khakrez districts of Kandahar (by AHDS) will be supported under the project to provide PHC services for internally displaced and conflict affected population that have limited access to essential health services. This activity will include operating two mobile health teams in under-served areas providing OPD services, Antenatal Care (ANC), vaccination and assisted deliveries by skilled birth attendance (SBA) and health education sessions.
3. Another complimentary activity is the training aimed to improving the capacity of surgeons on trauma care, nurses on triage, CHC staff on Basic Life Support (BLS) and community health workers (CHWs) on first aid will ensure that there is continued support for trauma care and stabilization starting at both community and facilities levels. The training will be conducted in collaboration with EMEGENCY NGO and MoPH.
4. Procure and preposition supplies to the high risk provinces as per the contingency plans. This would include procurement of 12 Trauma Kits, 100 BHK, 10 Supplementary Kits by WHO which will be prepositioned at the national and regional centers for response to conflicts and population movements. The kits would serve over 236,000 populations out of which over 141,000 are women and children lt5 yrs. These kits will be internationally procured and pre-positioned in WHO regional warehouses except for the MCM sets, these will be pre-positioned with the Provincial health directorate or the provincial hospital to complement the MCM plans developed in 2016/17
5. In addition to the interventions continuing the Health Emergency Risk assessment in 302 districts that are not assessed yet would improve the evidence based humanitarian response through an all hazard approach and improve efficient emergency response through better planning at provincial, regional and national levels.
6. Capacity building of health workers, with focus on female HWs that includes 21 days training of 68 female health workers (MD doctors and midwives) on Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EmONC) and 3 days training for 36 female health workers (MD doctors and midwives) on diagnosis and treatment of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI).World Health OrganizationWorld Health OrganizationAHDSYHDOAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr Altaf Daud Acting team leader0782200342altafd@who.intDr. Vickneswaran Sabaratnam Public Health Officer0782200379sabaratnamv@who.intHadi KhosbeenFinance Assistant0782200364Khosbeenh@who.intBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Badghis35.16713390 63.76953840Baghlan35.80429470 69.28775350Balkh36.89091580 67.18944880Farah32.49532800 62.26266270Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Jawzjan36.89696920 65.66585680Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Kapisa34.98105720 69.62145620Khost33.35850790 69.85974060Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Laghman34.68976870 70.14558050Logar34.01455180 69.19239160Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Nuristan35.32502230 70.90712360Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Panjsher35.88333300 69.11666700Samangan35.98072960 67.57085360Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Health1064871.801228698.242293570.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization2293570.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Health OrganizationAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/N/INGO/5040United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEnsuring access to life saving nutrition services through the establishment of IMAM services in Kabul City (northern and eastern zones)In response to needs identified by the Nutrition Cluster and the Public Nutrition Department, the proposed project aims to address gaps in services for the treatment of acute malnutrition in children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) through establishment of OPD SAM and MAM treatment sites in 23 health facilities in Northern and Eastern Kabul City. Six roving capacity building teams will assist with IMAM program start up and establishment of quality service provision using a staged approach aimed at eventual handover of full implementation responsibilities to permanent facility staff. The project aims to admit 9,111 boys and 10,696 girls under five and 16,042 PLW for treatment of acute malnutrition. The project will also aim to reach 19,808 (4,952 men and 14,856 women) caregivers of children with acute malnutrition and PLW admitted for treatment with health and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) messaging to address underlying causes of malnutrition. A media campaign will be launched to initiate community mobilization and health Shura members will be trained for more active and sustained community outreach efforts.MEDAIRMEDAIRAfghanistan Humanitarian FundRina MattinsonInterim Country Director0799337581cd-afg@medair.orgTemi AllinsonFinance and HR Mananger0799540506finance-afg@medair.orgZinaw TadesseNutrition Advisor0790096455healthnutadv-afg@medair.orgKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Nutrition314164.32270387.33584551.65Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMEDAIR350730.99Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMEDAIR233820.66Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMEDAIR1.21MEDAIRUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/N/INGO/5146United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEnsuring access to life saving nutrition services through the establishment of IMAM services in Kabul city (southern and western zones)This proposal is designed to address the 1st allocation from CHF 2017 with regards to: Establishment of IMAM program in Kabul city, west and South part. This project aims to scale up and strengthen IMAM program in Kabul where there is no management of acute malnutrition except in 6 hospitals with Therapeutics Feeding Unit, with inpatient but no outpatient. Kabul population is 3,329,885 including 632 680 U5 children with risk of deterioration of nutritional status. In addition to the city population under HFs coverage, conflict displacement is increasing, with more than 137,000 people displaced in Afghanistan since the beginning of 2016, representing a 16% increase compared to the same period last year. A recent Rapid Nutrition Assessment conducted in the KIS indicated emergency levels burden of malnutrition under 5 children is: GAM 21.9%, SAM 5.9%.
Nutrition national survey (NNS) done in 2013 shows the following results at national level: GAM 9.5%, SAM 5.5% and MAM 4% (standing at 6.5% at Kabul level)
The Nutrition Cluster estimates 45,000 children aged 0-59 months will be in need of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) treatment, 85,000 children aged 6-59 months will be in need of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) treatment and 62,500 pregnant and lactating women will be in need of malnutrition treatment in 2017 (NNS 2013). In addition, about 24% of returnees from Pakistan are settling in Kabul further increasing number of people in need of acute malnutrition treatment.
ACF will focus on implementing the activities and strengthening the capacities of the health facilities through both facility based intervention (by reinforcing the health and nutrition service delivery points with nutrition) and community based intervention (through volunteers’ female screeners’ approach, who will also roll out MUAC by mothers approach and promoters men who will work with the Mullah and community leaders). This project will integrate management of acute malnutrition with raising level of awareness in communities.
ACF recognizes the high importance of implementing IMAM program in each health facility of the country. This is implemented partly in few provinces but not in Kabul province. ACF has experience in strengthening health structure with IMAM program, with ongoing program in Ghor province and past experience in Balkh province. To cover the emergency gap in IMAM management, ACF is covering 48 KIS in Kabul with the mobiles clinics. The link will be done with the mobiles activities and the scaling up of IMAM program and at the end of the mobile clinic some children will be referred to the HFs with IMAM activities.
ACF intends to support the 26 health structures in the West and South parts another NGO will be selected by CHF to implement IMAM program in the East and North of the province. All the geographic areas will be covered to give children and PLW access to under acute malnutrition treatment.
An assessment will be conducted to assess the different needs of HFs to scale up the activities ACF will support them in the procurement requests for supplies to PND (UNICEF CHF call), calculation of the need for WFP (LFA between ACF and WFP) and managing the activities. With the experience on IMAM implementation, ACF will support the HF through the different steps of the scale up and strengthen the HF staff capacities through training and on the job mentoring. It will be very important to have a strong support and a program implementation of quality. It will have an impact on the quality of the care and on the development and good perception of program in the area. It will also have an impact on the access or on the barrier of the program in the city. The approach for the community management is different in the city compare to a rural area. The structure of CHW, FHGD and shura are almost non-existent. ACF will approach the community through radio messages and female volunteers going door to door doing screening and training mothers on MUAC.Action Contre la FaimAction Contre la FaimAfghanistan Humanitarian FundSalah DaraghmehCountry Director +92 (0) 799566128cd@af.missions-acf.orgMarie Petry Health and Nutrition Head of Department +93 (0) 766776332nuthod@af.missions-acf.orgAnne Roussel Finance And Admin Head of Department +93 (0) 797272766admin@af.missions-acf.orgKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Nutrition422214.64207646.54629861.18Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim377916.71Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim183697.96Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la FaimAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/N/UN/5194United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe Procurement and Provision of Nutrition and RUTF Supplies for OPD SAM Programmes in the High Priority ProvincesAs part of the strategic response plan, the Afghanistan Nutrition Cluster has identified the provision of life saving comprehensive Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) programming in Kabul Province as a priority intervention in 2017. In addition to that, the cluster has also identified the need of RUTF for a number of nutrition partners for IMAM scale up in IDPs (Kabul/KIS, Herat and Helmand), refugees (Khost), returnees (Nangarhar) and white areas (Kandahar). Since Outpatient Department for Severe Acute Malnutrition (OPD-SAM) is an integral component of IMAM, hence the OPD SAM programme will be implemented simultaneously with the OPD -MAM in the targeted areas in an integrated manner through CHF funding from this proposal.
Hence the current CHF proposal aims to address RUTF supply and non-consumable items for IMAM scale up in Kabul province, both in rural and city districts where currently there is no IMAM services and for RUTF for IPDs, returnees and refugees in Herat, Kandahar, Helmand, Khost, Paktia and Nangarhar provinces. The estimated RUTF supply for Kabul province is around 18,000 cartons, 50 boxes of Measuring Boards, 100 electronic scales and 100 packs of MUAC tapes and similarly 15,000 cartons of RUTF for IDPs, Refugees and returnees nutrition response in Kabul, Helmand, Kandahar, Herat, Nangarhar, Khost and Paktika provinces.
As part of the nutrition response UNICEF is seeking USD 2,420,631 from CHF to provide live saving therapeutic supplies of RUTF along with the required anthropometric equipment for treatment of 33,000 (17,820 girls and 15,180 boys) Severely Acute Malnourished under five children.
UNICEF will procure the nutrition supplies through it is own mechanism. These supplies will be stored at national and regional UNICEF warehouse. Based on agreement between UNICEF and Public Nutrition Department (PND), PND is responsible to receive, review and forward the supply requests to UNICEF on quarterly basis. Afterwards, UNICEF review the requests and process the delivery of requested supplies to IPs until provincial level. The implementing NGO partners (ACF, Medair, ACTD, AADA, WV, MOVE and HNI-TPO) will be fully responsible to make sure that RUTF and other nutrition supplies are used in the OPD-SAM sites and report to PND, nutriton cluster, UNICEF and OCHA as per agency requirement. The activities will be implemented through the health facilities (list attached) in the targeted provinces. The overall objective of the intervention is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality amongst children 6 – 59 months. UNICEF will closely coordinate with PND and implementing NGOs partners for supply RUTF and other nutrition supplies management including distribution and monitoring. This coordination includes the co- management of supply release through PND request with great involvement of all Provincial Nutrition Officers at provincial level. The IPs for OPD-SAM in Kabul city (ACF and Medair) are identified by PND-MoPH, for Kabul rural the IP is MOVE, the existing BPHS NGO by MoPH and for other provinces the IPs are the also the BPHS IPs providing health and nutriton services through MoPH contract (all BPHS IPs have a singed contract with MoPH for provision of health and nutrition services in the country)United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundAfghanistan Humanitarian FundShah Mahmood NasiriNutrition Officer0798507627snasiri@unicef.orgPiyali MustaphiHead of Nutrtion Section 0798507620pmustaphi@unicef.orgHilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Khost33.35850790 69.85974060Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Nutrition1538121.32756453.112294574.43Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund2294574.43Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's FundAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/N/UN/5212United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsPRRO 200447 Assistance to Address Food Insecurity and Under Nutrition (Ensuring access to life saving nutrition services through the establishment of IMAM services in Kabul city)Nutrition Cluster has identified the establishment of a comprehensive Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) programming in Kabul Province as an immediate priority in 2017. The Outpatient Department for Moderate Acute Malnutrition (OPD-MAM) is an integral component of IMAM. The OPD-MAM is integrated with Outpatient Department for severely malnourished children (OPD-SAM).
For addressing the identified need, WFP will contribute the procurement and support for the distribution of the required Specialized Nutritious Foods (SNFs), specifically, Ready to Use Supplementary Food (RUSF), Plumpy’Sup, for the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition in children between 6 – 59 months. Plumpy’Sup has as key ingredients, peanuts, sugar, whey, vegetable oil, milk, soy protein, cocoa, vitamin and minerals. Plumpy’Sup is one of the recommended SNFs for treatment of MAM in children 6 – 59 months, while Super Cereal is recommended for the treatment and prevention of acute malnutrition in adults, including pregnant and lactating women (PLW). The key ingredients of Super Cereal are wheat, soya, vitamins and minerals.
The identification and admission and discharge of the beneficiary in the programme to whom the SNFs will be provided will be based on the national IMAM guidelines 2014 version. A child is identified and enrolled in the programme based on the national IMAM protocol: when MUAC gt11.5 cm and MUAC lt12.5 cm and/or weight-for-height (gt -3 z-scores to lt -2 z-scores), without oedema or medical complications and discharged from the programme when MUAC is more than 12.5 cm or WFH gt-2 z-scores. The average recovery period is three months (90 days). The children enrolled in the programme will receive their daily Plumpy’Sup ration of 92 grams on a bi-weekly basis until they recover. A PLW is enrolled when MUAC is below 23.0 cm and discharged when infant is six months of age. PLW will receive their daily ration of 250 grams of Super Cereal on monthly basis until the infant is six months of age.
With this 1st allocation of 2017 CHF grant, WFP will procure and dispatch the SNFs to the selected CHF NGOs IPs for the implementation of the treatment programme in Kabul city. The implementing NGO partners will be fully responsible for the programme implementation under close supervision of WFP, the Public Nutrition Department of the Ministry of Public Health (PND/MoPH), UNICEF and the nutrition cluster members. Under this programme, 238 MT of Plumpy’Sup and 1,265 MT of Super Cereal will be procured for the treatment of an estimated 28,690 children 6-59 months and 21,069 PLW respectively in Kabul city only. The IPs will carry out the treatment programme activities through the PND assessed 49 health facilities of urban Kabul. The overall objective of the intervention is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality amongst children 6 – 59 months and PLW in Kabul city.

This proposed project is in line with the projected needs by the WASH cluster for 2017 and strongly supported and highly needed by the WASH cluster. The project does not in any way overlap with the ongoing project #3397. It rather complements it as a natural follow on to enable use of existing facilities to stockpile more supplies in a cost effective manner keeping staff, logistical and operational costs to bare minimum.
Large gaps exist in numerous provinces with regard to emergency WASH response. To address these gaps, DACAAR will preposition stocks across Afghanistan in already established warehouses in all 7 strategic geographical locations. The percentage of supplies for each location is allocated according to needs specified in the WASH cluster gap analysis (Annex 4aampb), as following:
1) Nangarhar also covering Kunar, Nuristan, and Laghman, receiving 30% of the stockpiled supplies
2) Kandahar, also covering Uruzgan, Helmand, Nimruz, Zabul, and Daikundi, receiving 10%
3) Balkh, also covering Faryab, Jawzjan, Samangan, and Sar-I Pul, receiving 10%
4) Herat, also covering Badghis Farah, and Ghor, receiving 5%
5) Kunduz, also covering Baghlan, receiving 15%
6) Takhar, also covering Badakhshan, receiving 10%
7) Kabul, also covering Kapisa, Logar, Parwan, Panjshir, Wardak, Bamyan, Ghazni, Khost, Paktika, and Paktia, receiving 20%.
Please see annex 5 for more details.
The supplies to be procured under this allocation will be sufficient to cover 50% of the gap identified by the WASH cluster for 2017. This will include 10,000 hygiene kits, 6,000 water kits, 2500 bath amp latrine kits and 10 plastic reservoirs. Items will be distributed to IDPs/returnees only no host communities will receive supplies.
The above will increase the strategic WASH supplied stockpiled under project # 3397 to the following
Hygiene Kits: 20920 for 146,440 individuals
Water Kits: 12750 for 89,250 individuals
Bath amp Latrine kits: 3310 for 66,200 individuals
Storage reservoirs: 30 units
Additionally, 810,000 water purification tablets purchased under project# 3397 are in stockpile.
Stock report showing current status of stocks in all regions has been uploaded as Annex 5.
The supplies purchased under project # 3397 have just arrived in DACAAR warehouses (stock status report attached) and are expected to be released to WASH partners soon to respond to displacements caused by expected start of fighting season. As such the existing supplies will make a good buffer while new supplies procured under the proposed project. We expect all supplies to be released before end of proposed project.
The supplies will be made available to all cluster partners to enable the most immediate response to new caseloads. These partners are informed of existing supplies and updated stock numbers for each region as part of coordination meetings and provided with forms and procedures for requisition. Supplies will be made available to partners once caseloads have been identified and response endorsed by the WASH cluster, based on official requests involving pre-agreed forms and previously established approval process. Strict records of supply and release will be kept and reported to the Cluster and OCHA on a monthly basis.
Procurement is made in bulk using OCHA-endorsed procurement procedures. Strong internal control mechanisms will be applied throughout the process and all stages documented.

During the needs assessment 13 villages were reached by the assessment teams. Out of a total of 3995 undocumented returnees and IDPs, 10% families were taken as sample size. The types of respondents selected were men, women and children of undocumented returnee and IDP families and consultation with community elders and host families. It is thus, the project will reach 27,965 individuals (11,480 undocumented returnees and 16,485 IDPs) in 13 villages (i.e. Markazi Khewa, Qala Tak, Shaga Kali, Kashkoot, Salam Por Kali, Saidabad, Sher gar, Anar Bagh, Katilai, Ghani Khill, Ghazi Amanullah, Shayeedano Meena and Kabul Camp) living in spontaneous settlements and host communities in Nangrahar and ensure that beneficiaries have 1) Ensure timely access to a sufficient quantity of safe drinking water, use of adequate and gender sensitive sanitation, and appropriate means of hygiene practices by the affected population, 2) Ensure timely and adequate access to WASH services in situations. According to the survey using assessment survey form, 82% of respondents own latrines in their houses but did not use latrines due to lack of awareness on the importance of latrine. Understanding of hygiene practices is very poor, with only a quarter of respondent stating that hand-washing was important before eating, 19.3% said it was important after defecating, and a mere 1.3% said it was important after handling an infant’s faeces. Only 18% of the households use both soap and water to wash their hands, with 77.8% of them stating that soap was too expensive as a reason for not having any in the household. In regards to household water supply and practices, 100% of the respondents stated that they had to go out and collect household water. Surface water for drinking was collected by 58.5% of the household and only 20.3% said they were able to collect drinking water from a protected water source, such as a hand pump. A further 21.2% said they collected drinking water from an unprotected water source. Forty-one percent of the surveyed households state that they consume less than 11 liters per person per day below the Sphere indicator of 15 liters per person per day. There is a lack of understanding among st the communities regarding the importance of correct water treatment procedures. wells with hand pump and motorized piped scheme which are not functional will be rehabilitated. Activities to promote good hygiene practices will be done to reduce health risks and to foster resilient bodies and minds. With community participation at the core, hygiene promotion activities will emphasize on prevention of diarrhea, hand washing, menstrual hygiene, infant and young child feeding (IYCF)), water treatment, food storage and waste disposal. Promotion activities will be accompanied by the distribution of hygiene Kits to undocumented returnees and IDPs. Prominently the project encompasses two major components i.e. hard and soft. Hard component mainly consists of rehabilitation of 30 water wells and one piped schemes, boring of 5 new wells with hand pumps, installation of water containers for drinking and washing in health centers and schools, for one-month water trucking and as per result of assessment report 18% beneficiaries have not access to latrines and bathing facilities, thus, new emergency latrines and bathing facilities will be constructed. while soft component consists of promotion of hygiene i.e. Participatory hygiene and sanitation transformation (PHAST) and Children hygiene and sanitation training (CHAST) approaches to make sure behavioral changes. to have an impact assessment of PHAST and CHAST we required time frame of at least 6 months as per set procedure’s already been identified in other districts.Coordination of Afghan ReliefCoordination of Afghan ReliefAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAbdul Halim” Halim”Managing Director93 700 242 180humanitarian.drr@coar.org.afEng Rahmatullah RahmaniWASH Program Manager+93 781619203engineering@coar.org.af Mehmood AlimiFinance Manager93 777685555fmanager.coar@gmail.comNangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Water Sanitation Hygiene269952.11269952.11Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCoordination of Afghan Relief161971.27Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCoordination of Afghan Relief107980.84Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCoordination of Afghan ReliefAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/1SA/WASH-ESNFI-APC/INGO/5014United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsRESPONSE - REturnees Support through POtable Water, NFI, Safe EducationIRC proposes to assist 12,000 individuals in Kabul, Nangarhar, Logar and Laghman provinces by providing cash for rent, increasing access to potable water and hygiene promotion and access to education by establishing 70 Community Based Education (CBE) classes. IRC will distribute cash for rent for 3 months in 3 installments of 60 USD to vulnerable returnees, who are living in rented houses or apartments (60% of returnees assessed) but who can’t afford to pay the rent and risk to be evicted. Disbursements are in line with the industry standard practice of the cluster group and are comparable to the practice of other INGOs in Afghanistan. To complement previous market and needs assessments in Dec 2016 and March 2017 IRC teams will conduct an updated monthly assessment in the target provinces to monitor cost of rent and fluctuations in the market, 60% of beneficiaries will be female heads of household. Based on ESNFI cluster recommendation, IRC will implement cash for rent only in Kabul. All cash distributions will be supervised and audited by multiple team and community members to ensure that all community members’ needs are considered, including those with significantly lower social profiles
To respond to the increased need for potable water, IRC will dig 50 new bore wells in Nangarhar, Logar and Laghaman and will connect them to water points through pipes. On completion of the wells IRC staff will chlorinate and undertake biological and physical tests on the water quality and pressure of all water points before handover to the community for management, achieved through establishment and training of Water Management Committees (WMC), IRC will ensure that women are represented in the WMC. IRC will also conduct hygiene education campaigns in the selected districts targeting 10,000 beneficiaries. It will hire and train Community Health Volunteers (CHV) of which70% will be female, to ensure women participation. IRC is currently implementing hygiene promotion through CHV in other emergency responses (funded by OFDA and SIDA) and training curriculum and awareness materials are already available to be used by the team. CHVs training will last 5 days and enable the CHVs to provide hygiene promotion sessions to their communities. IRC will also conduct WASH in school activities, as a component of the EiE activities.
In Kabul, Nangarhar and Laghman IRC will improve access to effective and responsive quality education, including providing education in emergency situations as well as Community-Based Education (CBE) to promote children’s wellbeing. These programs will ensure returning children (60% will be girls) have access to the education services they currently lack. The project will provide children with quality, holistic education in a safe stabilizing and restorative environment, and ensure that boys and girls have the foundational academic skills (literacy and numeracy) and the social and emotional skills (SES) to recover, persevere, learn and be resilient in the face of adversity. CBE classes will be equipped with necessary teaching and learning materials. IRC has been coordinating with Provincial and District Education Departments (PED and DED) who have agreed and approved the establishing of 9 months CBE classes (instead of the required 3 years) as an exception to the CBE Policy, motivated by the current returnee crisis and the increasing educational needs of returning children. Beneficiary families will be identified during joint assessments in consultation with community representatives, including CDCs/Shuras.

Through the proposed project, DDG will contribute to an improved protective environment and reduced safety threats for approximately 140,000 vulnerable conflict-affected Afghan returnees. DDG will provide mine and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) risk education in Kabul, Jalalabad, Kandahar and Nimrouz to all documented and undocumented Afghans returning from neighbouring Pakistan and Iran, many of whom are believed to be forcefully deported under dire humanitarian conditions.
Armed conflict and use of explosive weapons is widespread in at least 30 out Afghanistan’s 34 provinces. Afghanistan continues to report the highest number of casualties from mines and ERW in the world. Many of the returnees are unfamiliar of the current conflict dynamics, and lack knowledge of risks of explosive hazards, and are thus increasingly vulnerable to the mine/ERW accidents. Given these protection concerns, mine/ERW Risk Education provides life-saving mitigation against these risks, and equips returnees with essential information that shall aid them during their settlement journeys in Afghanistan.

In addition to that, the cluster has also identified the need of RUTF, formula milk F-75 and F-100 (F-75 and F-100 only for 15% completed total SAM cases) for IMAM programme implementation by different partners. Since Outpatient Department and Inpatient Department for treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (OPD-SAM and IPD-SAM) are an integral component of IMAM, hence provision of both services will be implemented simultaneously with the OPD -MAM services, where applicable in some areas as an integrated manner through CHF funding from this proposal.
Hence the current CHF proposal aims to address nutrition supplies need mentioned above for IMAM/ SAM implementation by both BPHS and CHF partners for portion of SAM under five children in 45 hard to reach districts of Faryab, Takhar, Kunduz, Helmand, Kandahar, Zabul, Urozgan, Nangarhar, Kunar, Paktika and Ghazni provinces where currently there is no IMAM services. The estimated RUTF supply is around 34,743 cartons, 842 cartons of F-75, 1,954 cartons of F-100 and 270 cartons of ReSoMal (for complicated cases) in the mentioned provinces.
As part of the nutrition response UNICEF is seeking USD 2,023,749.97 from CHF to provide live saving therapeutic supplies of RUTF, F-75, F-100 and ReSoMaL to partners for treatment of 45,082 (24,344 girls and 20,738 boys) Severely Acute Malnourished under five children in targeted districts provinces.
UNICEF will procure the nutrition supplies through it is own mechanism. These supplies will be stored at national and regional UNICEF warehouses. This project is meant to cover the therapeutic supply needs of CHF funded projects 12 months long in 45 critical priority districts. If the duration is limited for six month, procurement and delivery of supply will not be possible given the limited storage capacity of partners/ provinces. Based on agreement between UNICEF and Public Nutrition Directorate (PND) of Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), PND is responsible to receive, review and forward the supply requests to UNICEF on quarterly basis. Afterwards, UNICEF review the requests and process the delivery of requested supplies to implementing partners (IPs) until provincial level. The implementing CHF and BPHS partners (ACF, AHDS, HNI-TPO, NCA, ORCD, PU-AMI, YHDO, and BRAC-AYSO) will be fully responsible to make sure that RUTF, F-75, F-100 and ReSoMal are used in the OPD-SAM and IPD-SAM sites and report to PND, nutrition cluster, UNICEF and OCHA as per agency requirement. The activities will be implemented through the health facilities and mobile nutrition teams in the targeted provinces. The overall objective of the intervention is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality amongst under five year children. UNICEF will closely coordinate with PND and implementing CHF partners for nutrition supply (RUTF, F-75, F-100 and ReSoMal) management including distribution and monitoring. This coordination includes the co- management of supply release through PND request with great involvement of all Provincial Nutrition Officers at provincial level.United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAhmad Nawid QarizadaNutrition Specialist0093730717633anqarizada@unicef.orgPiyali MustaphiCheif of Nutrition0093730717620pmustaphi@unicef.orgFaryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Nutrition412364.102089311.422501675.52Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund2501675.52Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund3236.12United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/RA4/APC/UN/7613United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Victim Assistance (EVA)Project Summary: Emergency Victim Assistance (EVA) is intended to fill a gap left by USAID-funded Afghan Civilian Assistance Program (ACAP III) and the intended subsequent programme, COMAC (Conflict Mitigation Assistance for Civilians) from 1 January 2018 – 31 March 2018.

Lower than projected snowfall over the period December 2016 to February 2017 has been compounded by deficient seasonal rainfall during March 2017 and April 2017 resulting in very low soil moisture leading to poor germination and growing conditions for food crops and fodder vegetation reliant on rainfall.
The ability of farming families to cope with this shock is limited and has triggered negative coping mechanisms as families sell livestock and essential household items to buy food.
WV will address the immediate humanitarian needs of drought-affected farming families in Badghis and prevent loss of life as a consequence of acute food insecurity through the provision of essential food item packages as per the FSAC cluster. WV will also assist drought-affected families to achieve enhanced resilience to future shocks through the introduction of improved drought tolerant wheat seeds coupled with training on improved agriculture practices.
The interventions WV propose will prevent or minimize the mass emigration of drought affected populations from Badghis province, therein reducing the likelihood of humanitarian services being burdened in neighboring province. The summary of interventions include the following:
In-kind food distribution: WV proposes to distribute food rations to 1400 households in Muqur, Abkamari, Qadis and Qala i Now. The food ration will be as per the FSAC standard ration with a landed cost of $90/Household/Month. Priority will be given to most vulnerable households, including households headed by women, households headed by the elderly, households with disabled household members and other vulnerable households as identified by Community leaders. WV will distribute rations for 2 months (January and February) to guarantee household access to food during the lean winter period.
Beneficiary identification and verification: Project inception will begin by sensitization stakeholders at Provincial level in Badghis, particularly DoWA, DRRD, DoLSA among other key Government departments. This will be followed up by district level sensitization with District Governors as well as key community leaders including CDCs and Shura. The key output of the district sensitization of a list of vulnerable food insecure households who meet the agreed selection criteria as guided by the HEAT tool. WV will verify all households identified by the Community Leaders and then identify the 1400 most vulnerable households. From these 1400, 500 households with a good agriculture production track record but without access to agricultural seeds will be selected and these will be identified by the community leaders. The project will also verify these households.
Food distribution: WV will conduct once-off distribution, providing 2 months ration for targeted households. WV proposes to conduct in-kind food distribution as the food stocks in badghis province are limited due to the drought which has affected the province over the last 3 years.
Training on improved agricultural practices: The project will train selected households on improved agriculture practices, particularly focusing on the use of drought tolerant and climate sensitive production skills to enable farmers to withstand the effects of drought in future. This will be coupled with distribution of drought tolerant wheat seed to the same 500 trained households

In order to achieve this specific objective, capable of leading to a reduction of the war wounded mortality rate, EMERGENCY will focus on two main areas of intervention: one related to the referral system, another one to the Kabul Surgical center capacity:
1- A greater support to the referral system through FATPs already located by EMR in Baraki Barak, Pul I Alam and Maydanshar and through an opening of a new first aid trauma post in the east of Kabul, area underserved in terms of health facilities
(an assessment in the east side of Kabul has been conducted in order to be able to serve as many civilians as possible taking in consideration the population’s request of opening a new first aid post).
2- Reinforcement of the equipment of the central Emergency, War Surgical Centre in Kabul.
(as referral system is able to ensure patients’ stabilization/treatment and prompt transfer to a higher level of health facility when required, the overall number of referral to EMR War Surgical Centre is proportionally increasing its workload)
and strengthening of the mass casualty area within Emergency War Surgical Centre in Kabul
(mass casualties reported in Kabul and provinces around are challenging Emergency War Surgical Centre capacity to respond to the civilian needs).

By doing so, MCPA seeks to lay the stepping stone in restoring suitable environment, free from the threats enforced by landmine/ERW contamination, for social and economic development in the regions. To achieve this, MCPA plans to conduct Mine Risk Education (MRE) and spot-ERW clearance. While the MRE will promote safe and positive behavior among communities, EOD surveys will ensure the contamination posing threats are dealt with promptly.
MCPA will hire 13 MRE teams responsible for conducting MRE and reaching a total population of 286,200. The MRE teams are trained to have the capacity of delivering MRE, and capable of Medical Support when required.
MCPA will also hire 7 Cross-Trained teams responsible for primarily conducting NTS, Resurvey, Cancellation, EOD Spot removal/destruction, and respond to any DMAC approved local demining requests. They will also have ample capacity within them to conduct MRE, through 2 trainers in each team, in the war-torn communities. MCPA understands the limitation posed by the presence of UXO/ERW to MRE Teams, ergo the Cross-Trained teams are best suited to such communities. These teams will not only conduct NTS, but will also remove/destroy any UXO/ERW found, giving the MRE trainers confidence in safety to conduct Mine Risk Education. The total target set for MRE for these cross-trained teams is 99,540 this does not include individuals benefitting from NTS and spot UXO/ERW removal/destruction as such activities benefit everyone from the community. The Team Leaders of these cross-trained teams are trained in basic medical response/First-Aid Medical Training.
These teams compliment each other in a way that, through MRE, the risk of injuries/impairments and deaths will be reduced by creating awareness regarding the risks of landmines and ERW via conducting educational activities, public informational campaigns, and training aimed at promoting safe behavioral practices. MRE is paired with Non Technical Survey (NTS) and EOD Spot Mine/ERW Destruction, ensuring spot ERW/Mine destruction and demarcation of hazard areas to maximize the safety and promote the protection of the targeted population.
MCPA understands the influx of returnees and IDPs throughout the country, in case of such event, MCPA will coordinate with DMAC/UNMAS regional offices and tailor its operational plan to respond to the emergency needs of the new/existing population. MCPA will also train volunteer MRE trainers where and when possible both male and female candidates will be considered to ensure long term impact of this proposed project. The contact details of MRE volunteer trainers will be recorded and shared with OCHA upon request.

MDC used the information and data which was provided by OCHA, UNOPS and the result of MDC’s initial assessment. Based on the above mentioned data and assessments, MDC found that the civilian in the above mentioned sites including (women, girls, men, and boys) face continuously to the risk of ERW when returning to their own communities, internally displacing and host communities, who live their own villages. The lack of knowledge about the ERW causes continuous loss of live, obstacles and disruption to access to education, health and other socio-economic activities. So, to provide safe land for the civilian, MDC proposes to deploy 8 (MRE/EOD/Survey/ Spot-Clearance) cross trained teams, 5 MRE teams and 1 mobile project office for 6 months. These teams will conduct the MRE, survey and marking, ERW clearance/disposal of hazards where war affected host communities, internally displaced and returnees are at risk. This will make sure that the impacted communities are educated on mine/ERW risks, the hazardous areas are surveyed and marked, and all known ERWs are disposed. As a result the number of mine/ERW victims will be reduced significantly and the socio-economic activities will be started.
Each (MRE/EOD/Survey/Spot-Clearance) team is consist of 5 person. 1 team leader/Paramedic with function of command/control, leading and medical first aid provision to related team. 2 MRE trainers (couple) for conducting mine/ERW risk education in targeted communities, 1 EOD/survey operator for spot clearance and survey and 1 guard for keeping care of base camp of the team.
Based on our calculation and last 27 years’ experience the mentioned resources will enable us to achieve the project’s goals and objectives efficiently and effectively. All the above mentioned resources will be deployed in compliance to AMAS, IMAS and application of the MDC approved SOPs.
MDC will conduct regular supervision, monitoring and quality control, of the project’s activities. The project teams will be supported efficiently and effectively in the field. The project will be managed effectively and efficiently at micro and macro levels. And the project progress will be reported to the donor on time based on requirement.

The intervention also responds to beneficiaries’ protection needs through promoting improved awareness of mines/explosive remnants of war (ERWs).
The lead partner ACTED, along with project partners DACAAR and the Halo Trust, will carry out the following interventions:
1) ACTED will provide cash for food assistance to 2,000 prolonged IDP households in the following provinces/districts: (1) Faryab: Almar and Pashtunkot (2) Kunduz: Chahar Dara Dashte Archi, Imam Sahib, Khanabad, and Qala-i-Zal, and (3) Takhar: Khwaja Ghar. Those identified as highly food insecure will receive USD 90 cash-for-food for a period of two months. ACTED’s initial needs assessment (Annex IV – 2017) shows that currently over half of surveyed PIDP households reported having no food stocks, hence, the Action is urgently needed to ensure the food security of the most vulnerable target PIDPs does not worsen to crisis levels in the hunger season.
2) DACAAR will conduct a 12-month WASH intervention targeting 17,500 IDPs in Kunduz. To improve access to safe drinking water, DACAAR will establish 70 new water points and rehabilitate a further 50 pre-existing water points, and provide water trucking for up to a maximum of 60 days, based on the cluster standard provision of 15 liters per person per day. DACAAR will also provide 600 hand washing facilities and distribute bio-sand filters (350 households). In addition, DACAAR will target 2,500 families for hygiene promotion trainings.
3) The Halo Trust will carry out a 12-month intervention across five districts of Kunduz, providing Mine Risk Education sessions to 15,398 individuals. These sessions are designed to increase knowledge of the risks of ERWs and promote communication between communities and the organizations which carry out mine/ERW clearance. In addition, Halo will execute a Mine and ERW Impact Free Community Survey (MEIFCS). Subsequent surveys will be executed throughout the project as new sites are identified through local intelligence. Halo will also execute Spot Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) of dangerous items.
There is significant complementarity between partners’ interventions in a number of areas. The partners established areas of access/programming are shared across the provinces, for instance Halo benefits from ACTED’s infrastructure, access/acceptance in and knowledge of Kunduz province. Initial needs assessments (Annex IV) show that caseloads identified as the most food insecure also lack access to safe drinking water. ACTED and DACAAR’s joint beneficiary selection will mean that all IDPs/host community members who demonstrate both FSAC and WASH needs will receive both forms of assistance. Additionally, cash-for-food/WASH assistance have been shown to lower the incentive for vulnerable communities to enter ERW contaminated areas to look for food/water.
This Action features a number of integrated protection measures designed to address both generalized protection risks (such as through ACTED’s Complaints Response Mechanism), as well as component-specific measures relating to each of the sectors. This Action integrates protection principles in the following ways: 1) During all partners’ needs assessments, data on vulnerable groups, such as female/disabled headed households will be collected. ACTED will ensure that locations for distributions are safe/accessible to all, with women receiving their assistance separately and 2) Through surveying/clearing mines and ERWs, this initiative expands the scope of Action for other life-saving actions, improving access to aid for neglected communities through allowing both field staff/beneficiaries to live/operate more safely within post-conflict environments.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentDanish Committee for Aid to Afghan Refugees (DACAAR)Halo TrustAfghanistan Humanitarian FundThibault LaroseACTED Country Director+93 (0) 728 427 169thibault.larose@acted.orgAlice DorrerACTED Project Development Manager+93 (0) 728427177alice.dorrer@acted.orgOlivier FabreACTED Country Finance Manager+93 (0) 728427156olivier.fabre@acted.orgFaryab36.07956130 64.90595500Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Food SecurityProtectionWater Sanitation Hygiene292291.131185402.911477694.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development591077.62Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development777490.48Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/SA2/APC-H-N/INGO/6797United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProvision of life-saving health, psychosocial, GBV, nutrition services through static and mobile health teams for the people in hard to reach and underserved areas of Kunduz and Uruzgan provinces with focus on IDPsHNTPO will provide life-saving Primary Health Care, Psychosocial, GBV, Nutrition and Protection services to conflict affected population mainly IDPs and host population in high priority districts of Uruzgan and Kunduz provinces. The focus will be on most vulnerable population, mainly women and children, in 5 very hard to reach districts in Kunduz (Chahar Dara, Dashte Archi, Imam Sahib, Khanabad and Qalay-I-Zal) and five districts in Uruzgan including three high priority hard to reach (Terinkot, Shahid Hassass and Has Uruzgan) and two other priority districts (Dehrawod and Chora) identified by the ICCT.
HNTPO is currently present in both Uruzgan and Kunduz provinces and in most of the high risk districts prioritized in this call. The organization is currently providing health, psychosocial and nutrition services to conflict affected population, IDPs and vulnerable specialized group such as nomads. Beside that our partner in Uruzgan will be AHDS, BPHS implementer, whom has presence in the province, and also in Kunduz, there is formal understanding on division of responsibilities with OHPM, the BPHS implementer. In both provinces, HealthNet TPO is presence for more than a decade and has developed a very strong community TRUST and thus the access will not be a challenge for implementation.
The preparation phase will include a rapid assessment of target areas, mapping of the population, orientation and coordination with community and provincial authorities and identifying the service delivery points (SDPs). This will be achieved during the first month of the project, by provincial team and project manager and other staff from central office of HNTPO.
The project will be implemented through 9 mobile health teams in the targeted districts, except khanabad, where OHPM will have the mobile team. Each mobile team will comprise a team of professionals, including a medical doctor, a mid wife, two psychosocial counselors, a nutrition nurse and a team ( one male and one female) for community based intervention such as child friendly space, women health friendly space, nutrition screening and referral. The mobile teams will be located in the districts ideally and will function from there. But in some cases such as Chrdarah district which is only 8 kilometer from Kunduz center, the mobile team will travel from the provincial center. The team will be provide orientation and training on the functions they will perform. We will use our existing staff, whom has good performance and local experience, for our mobile team.
The lessons learned during our current CHF and other projects in both provinces are used to design this proposal. The first lesson learned is Community Participation: It was learned that community participation for the smooth running of the project is very important. For this purpose the establishment of coordination committee within IDP community and host community will be one of the first steps. the second lesson learned was Coordination with other stakeholders: It is the ToR of psychosocial team to identify the basic needs of IDP and how to link with other actors. During the previous project, it was found that linkage the basic needs of IPDs with other stakeholders are important and it help the IDP for addressing their basic needs and having access to relevant actors. OCT (operational Coordinating Team) is a good example in Kundoz province which has regular monthly basis meeting and discuss the needs of IDP. This OCT model will be implemented in Uruzgan province for further coordination and access of IDPs for basic needs.
The provincial team already exists but will be further strengthened as per need of the project. A very robust and practical data management, compilation and reporting system with an effective monitoring mechanism to be implemented at different levels.

In addition, REACH will launch two separate assessments to address protection-related information gaps, in close collaboration with the Afghanistan Protection Cluster (APC). One of these assessments will focus on the issue of fragmented families and the other will present a broader, nationwide assessment of protection needs and vulnerabilities of displaced populations (Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), prolonged IDPs (PIDPs), returnees, etc.).
More specifically, REACH, a joint initiative of ACTED and IMPACT Initiatives, ACTED’s global partner, will work in close accordance with current Cluster and CHF priorities to carry out:
1) a two-fold ‘Hard to Reach’ Assessment (HTRA), as part of which an initial Basic Service Unit (BSU) mapping will be conducted in 45 ‘hard to reach’ districts across Faryab, Ghazni, Helmand, Kandahar, Kunar, Kunduz, Nangarhar, Paktika, Takhar, Uruzgan, and Zabul provinces. This will be followed by monthly monitoring of these locations, through a network of key informants. This approach will provide a wide-scale basic needs overviews of these areas to facilitate effective programme planning of humanitarian partners.
2) a nationwide, quantitative household-level Protection Assessment of Displaced Populations (PADP) to identify the key humanitarian needs and vulnerabilities of displaced populations, specifically focusing on concerns relevant for the APC.
3) a ‘Fragmented Families’ Assessment (FFA), consisting of a qualitative survey profiling the characteristics of outlining their key needs and vulnerabilities, to inform the APC of the profile of targeted populations.
The assessments will be conducted in line with UNOCHA and/or Cluster endorsed Terms of Reference (ToRs), tools and indicators. Assessment reports produced as part of each assessment, as well as maps and factsheets produced as part of the HTR assessment, will be available to all humanitarian stakeholders and disseminated by REACH to inform humanitarian decision making and programming. The project will directly benefit the members of the APC, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (ESNFI) and Food Security and Agriculture (FSAC) Clusters, as well as the Humanitarian Access Group (HAG). Information collected as part of the action will support the development of life-saving WASH, ESNFI, FSAC and Protection interventions. They will also inform the Clusters specifically on populations that are, at present, insufficiently understood and poorly included in humanitarian planning, thus contributing to the development of the next Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP).
The project will indirectly benefit the population living in the 45 mentioned districts, and displaced populations nationally. The project will also aim to reach the most vulnerable populations (e.g. female-, disabled- or elderly-headed households, etc.) to ensure their voices and specific vulnerabilities are captured through the various assessments.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentIMPACT InitiativesAfghanistan Humanitarian FundThibault LaroseCountry Director+93 (0) 728427169thibault.larose@acted.orgVincent AnnoniREACH Global Coordinator+ 41 (0) 22 566 2963vincent.annoni@impact-initiatives.orgAlice DorrerProject Development Manager+93 (0) 728427177alice.dorrer@acted.orgSayed FarooqDeputy Country Finance Manager+93 (0) 799639399sayed.farooq@acted.orgBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Badghis35.16713390 63.76953840Baghlan35.80429470 69.28775350Balkh36.89091580 67.18944880Bamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Daykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Farah32.49532800 62.26266270Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Jawzjan36.89696920 65.66585680Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Kapisa34.98105720 69.62145620Khost33.35850790 69.85974060Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Laghman34.68976870 70.14558050Logar34.01455180 69.19239160Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Nimroz31.02614880 62.45041540Nuristan35.32502230 70.90712360Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Panjsher35.88333300 69.11666700Parwan34.96309770 68.81088490Samangan35.98072960 67.57085360Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Coordination and Support Services81765.06493315.87575080.93Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development287540.47Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development284588.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/SA2/FSAC-CCS-APC/NGO/6788United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProvision of cash for food and psychosocial support to IDP women, boys, girls and men, specific ESNFI needs assessment for particularly women headed households to respond most vulnerable families, and creating safe environment for affected children during emergencies in Kandahar, Hilmand, Uruzgan and Zabul provinces.The proposed intervention will be an immediate response to the families affected by ongoing armed conflict in Southern Afghanistan, displaced from the place of their origin, living in worst condition of displacement and haven’t received any lifesaving response neither by the government nor by aid organizations. The proposed aid will be targeting both – new IDPs by cash for food, provision of psycho-social assistant and the ESNFI needs identification of new and prolonged IDPs within the last 12 months of displacement history while ensuring stocks of emergency non-food items to respond to life saving situations including the families living in most critical situation identified during the assessment. Augmenting immediate response by creating safe and protective environment to fulfill children’s rights, enhance well-being, providing them psychosocial needs, recreational activities that will be reviving the children’s life from distress towards relief, reducing children’s vulnerability and protection threats and learn in a harm free and supportive environment. The proposed intervention is shaped in line with strategic objectives of HRP for 2017 and the relevant objectives of FSAC, ESNFI and CPiE clusters. The cash will immediately enable new families to have food in emergencies for short term until the situation gets stable, this in turn will have significant impact on reducing child mortality, contributing in reduction of malnutrition rate and overall health and dignity of the vulnerable families. The new and prolonged IDP families’ ESNFI needs assessment will enhance humanitarian needs analysis and inform strategic planning targeting, prioritization and contribute to the provision of recent data on key humanitarian indicators for the 2018 CHF 1st Standard Allocation. The provision of psychosocial training to shock affected population will enhance their psycho-social well-being, relief from stressful and critical situation resulted due to shocks.
The project title is – Provision of cash for food and psychosocial support to IDP women, boys, girls and men, specific ESNFI needs assessment for particularly women headed households to respond most vulnerable families, and creating safe environment for affected children during emergencies in Kandahar, Hilmand, Uruzgan and Zabul provinces. The overall objective of the project is – To enhance the well-being and restore dignity of mainly armed conflict IDP women, boys, girls and men who have not been reached with humanitarian or other assistance through cash for food, non-food items and provision of psychosocial support. Collect comprehensive evidence-based information through community based approach with more focus on prolonged IDPs to address the specific ESNFI needs of women, boys, girls and men and the strengthening of CPiE mechanism through formation of Child Friendly Spaces in hard to reach areas. Then interventions will also strenghten the community acceptance and further create an enabling environment for humanitarian programming and delivery of assistance.

In Kunar, the markets of Dara-e Pech (Nangalam) and Khas Kunar (Tanar and Arazi) are accessible and various food and non-food items are available including wheat flour, pulses, vegetable oil, local rices, salt and sugar to provide 2100 Kcal/person/day for one month to constitute an appropriate food basket and Nangarhar is similar – (Sukhrod district headquarter Bazar, the other local markets such as Muimobark Bazar , Sutltan Poor Bazar, Chamttala Bazar, Shekh Massry Bazar and other villages’ bazar) with availability of the same products mentioned to fill the basic needs of the population with possibilities for women to access those areas easily. The aims of helping them to buy nutritious food and understand the values of non-harming coping mechanisms in nutrition are mainly to ensure timely provision of affordable and dietary efficient food to avoid malnutrition. Nevertheless, as WFP pointed out, staple food’s price has been increasing due to the higher demands. MADERA wants to encourage the local market to flourish through its cash grants approach, The cash distribution seems to be an effective solution to enable the most vulnerable IDPs to cover their immediate basic needs particularly in terms of food access especially since markets of Dara-I-Pech, Khas Kunar and Surkh Rod are efficiently functioning.
According to OCHA, cash assistance remains a “way to enable families to decide for themselves how best to meet their own needs” and to respond to their most urgent ones.
This need responding approach is meeting two criteria:
- Re-establishing linked to the market which will benefit the host communities
- Empowering the most vulnerable that cannot access work through helping them to establish livelihoods
MADERA and SHPOUL will obviously focus as well on ensuring timely access to a sufficient quantity of safe drinking water, use of adequate and gender sensitive sanitation and appropriate means of hygiene practices by the affected populations by linking rehabilitation of WASH infrastructures to the Citizen’s Charter implemented by DACAAR in the Eastern regions by promoting hygiene practices, rehabilitation of boreholes, water treatments in general to ensure limitation of diseases spread out through lack of sanitation appropriateness and release the burden on malnourished populations.
Lack of drinking water and job opportunities are a few of the catalyst causes of facing hardships through displacements while land disputes add further tensions to the current humanitarian crisis. MADERA and SHPOUL through awareness campaigns dedicated for IDPs on their rights to land in the context of displacement and particularly affecting women,will ensure contribution to best-knowledge and practices which will enhance IDPs’ access to livelihoods in the longer term to find area of land to cultivate afterwards as everyone is entitled to a safe home.
The 2 NGOs will liaise with relevant humanitarian partners in the area to reach out the most vulnerable and protect the dignity and diminish the suffering of women and children.Mission d’Aide au Développement des Economies Rurales en AfghanistanMission d’Aide au Développement des Economies Rurales en AfghanistanSHPOULAfghanistan Humanitarian FundShafiqullah Shadab (SHPOUL)Executive Director 0795122899shadab@shpoul.orgFlorence Carrot (MADERA)Grant Manager (MADERA)0797687511grantmanager@madera-afgha.orgThierry David (MADERA)Country Director0773561953countrydirector@madera-afgha.orgFahim Rahimi (MADERA)Operations Director0773524960operationsdirector@madera-afgha.orgMohammad EhssanHead of Finance+93 (0)799 136 120deputy.adminfidirector@madera-afgha.org masiullahFinance Officer+93799445078cashier.kabul@madera-afgha.orgKunar34.84658930 71.09731700Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Food SecurityProtectionWater Sanitation Hygiene173439.19264976.53438415.72Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission d’Aide au Développement des Economies Rurales en Afghanistan219207.86Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission d’Aide au Développement des Economies Rurales en Afghanistan133673.90Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission d’Aide au Développement des Economies Rurales en AfghanistanAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/SA2/FSAC-WASH-APC/NGO/6784United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSupporting new and prolonged IDPs to meet their emergency food, WASH and Education needs in Kandahar and Takhar Provinces of Afghanistan through immediate cash transfer modality, WASH interventions and establishment of children Temporary Learning Space (TLS)By implementation of the proposed integrated project 1) under envelop five (FSAC) CoAR planned to ensure that 450 new and 149 prolonged IDPs’ families in Khwaja Ghar and 699 family new IDP in Maywand have covered their basic food needs.
According to CoAR past experience in cash based interventions, a two-month, cluster-recommended basic food basket will be provided in the form of cash to cover food needs of most vulnerable new and prolonged IDPs through immediate cash transfer modality. Immediate cash transfer is monetary assistance and will be in form of physical cash to the targeted households that enables direct access to food from the marketplace.
Based on WFP food ration, food basket for one month will be worth 6,000 AFS (90USD). This is in line with WFP strategy and covers approximately 100% of the monthly food needs of an average afghan household. Therefore, female-headed households, households with chronically ill, disabled, elderly, lactating or pregnant women, and children under five, will receive cash grant in two distributions to cover their food needs for two months. Meanwhile head of HH will be encouraged through distribution of cash and brainstorming sessions to enroll their children into EIE/TLCs of the protection/education portion. CoAR will locally identify shops to offer food items to beneficiaries on reasonable prices. To equip the beneficiaries with proper use of cash granted, CoAR will hold separate brain storming sessions for male and female beneficiaries so beneficiary better understand the nutrition values of different food items, good food storage practices, dietary diversity, good cooking practices and they will purchase food items, those could appropriately satisfy their family’s nutrition needs.
2) Under envelop four (WASH), lack of hand washing, latrines and bathing facilities, lack of awareness on importance of hand washing, water treatment, water storage and use of latrine, poor understanding of hygiene practices, using unsafe water, all leads to water born diseases and lack of access to safe drinking water. During the survey, these factors were identified by more than 88% of the respondent as major challenges of the IDPs. It was also found that households consume less than 10.5 liters per person per day below Sphere indicator of 15 liters per person per day. Thus CoAR will reach 12,831individuals (3,208 men, 4,491 women and 5,132 children) in Maywand district through access to sufficient safe drinking water, construction of adequate gender sensitive sanitation facilities, rehabilitation of 22 non-functional wells with hand pumps and motorized piped schemes, providing hand washing, sanitation facilities at target communities and at temporary learning classes (TLC/EiE) and appropriate means of hygiene to reduce health risks and to foster resilient bodies and minds. Promotion activities will be accompanied by the distribution of hygiene Kits.
3) Under envelop three-Protection, CoAR has designed the emergency education component, where children, according to age and previous education background, if any, will be enrolled into temporary EiE classes/TLCs, until the next Afghan school year starts, i.e. "End March 2018 in Takhar and End August 2017 in Kandahar". On the exit of the project, children are consequently expected to be integrated into nearby Hub Schools, where feasible. CoAR will also provide learning opportunities to 1950 affected children (at least 40% girls) by establishing 65 Temporary Learning Classes in Kandahar and Takhar provinces. All the TLCs will be equipped with classroom kits, latrine, drinking water (from WASH cluster) and recreational kits. Students will receive a full set of text books from MoE and Teaching and Learning Materials, stationary. The three components of this CHF integrated model will encompass protection issue: safety, dignity, access, participation and accountability as crosscutting subject throughout the project cycle management.

The project will cover trauma care and referrals for war wounded, obstetrical and other emergency patients through the establishment of 5 integrated FATP centers located in Maywand, Shawalikot, Arghistan. Khakrez and Zhari. The referral mechanism for patients in critical condition will be ensured through the addition of extra ambulances in the 7 CHC's of the districts targeted.
To provide basic health services in underserved communities,YHDO and BARAN will enable 7 mobile health teams that will be deployed in white areas and high IDP's and nomadic population concentration areas. These mobile teams will offer basic health services, nutrition promotion, malnutrition detection and treatment plus referrals to therapeutic feeding centers if needed, as well as psychosocial support and referrals when indicated (GBV and MHPSS cases). YHDO and BARAN will combine their expertises to maximize the positive impacts of the project. The mobile health teams will be fully managed by BARAN, under the supervision of YHDO key project staff.
Psychosocial support for traumatized patients and GBV prevention and response will be ensured by the presence of trained counsellors in the 5 FATP centers, as well as in the mobile health teams to be deployed to the 5 districts targeted. YHDO possesses solid expertise in GBV and the organization is currently implementing a CHF funded psychosocial and GBV project in northern region. Therefore this proposal will scale up YHDO interventions in relation with GBV and psychosocial support, to respond to ground needs existing in Kandahar. YHDO will position rape management kits in all CHC's integrating FATP's and trained staff will enable proper case management.
YHDO will also establish 2 women friendly spaces in Maywand and Shawalikot districts where population is directly affected by the ongoing conflict. These community spaces will ensure provision of safe space where women and childrens can gather to discuss common issues, receive information (legal, health, nutrition, MHPSS, etc.) and feel free to share their concerns and to address their specific needs.

Southern region, in particular Kandahar Province, is one of the critical areas affected and INTERSOS aims to provide multi-sectoral emergency response program in some of the hard to reach and underserved districts in Kandahar, Arghistan, Maywand, Khakrez and Shah Wali Kot.
INTERSOS opts for a complementary, integrated and comprehensive response strategy combining support for emergency health services provided by the BPHS service provider BARAN in their static centers (health facilities – HF), strengthening trauma care and by complementing the services of the HFs by running mobile outreach teams to bridge the gaps between the communities located in white remote areas (active conflict or AoG-controlled) and the health facilities that are (almost all) located in the government controlled areas, focusing on RH services, supporting the work of CHWs, enhancing community mobilization and awareness for health-WASH. The integrated Health Package will focus on Trauma Care and Reproductive Health (ANC, deliveries, PNC and family planning), complemented by health education and hygiene promotion. INTERSOS will have case managers and social workers linked to the mobile health teams that will be providing PSFA amp PSS to identified protection cases (GBV, PwSN) in need of case management services and conduct collective PSS sessions for most vulnerable groups, in addition to protection awareness which could contribute to enhanced protection and actual prevention from protection issues. The use of mobile teams will allow for high flexibility to redirect life-saving services to those communities most in need, mainly in white areas of selected districts, ensuring coverage and provision of health services enabling families who would otherwise not be able to access treatment - either because of the prohibitive costs of travel or insecurity - to get their children the life-saving assistance they need.
The project’s general objective is to contribute to the reduction of maternal, child and trauma related morbidity and mortality associated with diseases and hazards resulting from deficient (or non-existing) health services, poor environmental health conditions and lack of protective environment in conflict-affected communities. This intervention is part of an integrated multi-sectorial humanitarian response plan for Kandahar Province to be implemented by INTERSOS in 2017/2018 in order to address the dire basic needs of and provide essential services for (documented and undocumented) Afghani Returnees (Pakistan) and IDPs, in addition to Afghani conflict affected (host) communities. As result from the Multi-sector Assessment conducted by INTERSOS in 15 districts of the province, identified needs are already being addressed by INTERSOS in Kandahar town (IDPs high concentration areas), Maywand, Zheray and Spin Boldak districts through a multi-donor and multi-sectoral program funded by USAID/OFDA, UNHCR and UNICEF in health, nutrition, WASH, livelihood protection and EiE sectors. With the present intervention similar emergency response package will be extended to Arghistan, Khakrez and Shah Wali Kot districts.
The program will target 42.798 individuals gt 29% men, 53% women, 9% boy and 9% girls gt 24% IDP, 8% returnees (DR and UR) and 68% most vulnerable local (host) community (HC).INTERSOSINTERSOSAfghanistan Humanitarian FundJames A.

Needs are mostly connected to three main factors: shock-induced poverty (that adds to precarious economic situations pre-shock) limited availability of resources and services in the area of destination, further stretched by displacement disintegration of the protection environment, including due to the shock and lack of protective networks. Needs identified through the needs assessments (Annex 2) conducted in August 2017 are multi-sectoral and include access to adequate quantity and quality of food access to clean water, safe sanitation and basic hygiene access to a protection conducive environment and access to basic health and trauma care. The proposed project aims at narrowing the gaps in the abovementioned areas by targeting the top 30% to 40% of those in acute need of humanitarian assistance these include: 5098 individuals targeted with food assistance 28157 individuals, 90% internally displaced persons (IDPs), - + 10% from the HC - targeted with basic health, trauma care and Psychosocial support 4923 individuals targeted with water purification, 2813 with WASH kits and 1750 with access to safe and dignified sanitation and 300 unaccompanied women, survivors or at risk of GBV, specifically targeted with all the services above, plus dignity kits and Women Friendly Health Spaces.
By delivering these services, RI’s project will contribute towards: responding to immediate humanitarian needs of shock affected populations reducing protracted displacement-induced vulnerabilities and improving conditions for conflict and displacement affected communities in hard to reach areas.
In addition to direct implementation of the project detailed above, and with the aim to improve the effectiveness of this project as well as the humanitarian community’s understanding of needs in hard to reach areas, RI proposes to conduct in depth assessments in Shelter/NFIs, GBV and Health, which were not possible to conduct during the August 2017 needs assessment. Data will be disaggregated by age and gender as appropriate. In addition, RI proposes to set up stocks of basic NFIs in Ghazni, difficult to reach from other provinces due to security constraints on the main road this makes it challenging to mobilise resources on time when urgently needed. Finally, by engaging existing community networks, a variety of stakeholders from different political and ideological backgrounds, and the existing aid and government structures in place, RI will develop an extensive risk register – to include also a context assessment, actor mapping, and thorough investigation of conflict dynamics – to inform a comprehensive access strategy that allows RI to directly reach vulnerable IDPs in the target Districts.Relief InternationalRelief InternationalAfghanistan Humanitarian FundBrian LaguardiaCountry Director0792410410brian.laguardia@ri.orgVeronica PaneroHumanitarian Coordinator0729200799veronica.panero@ri.orgHasibullah DehzadFinance Manager0799300505hasibullah.dehzad@ri.orgGhazni33.55000000 68.41666700Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Emergency Shelter and NFIFood SecurityHealthProtectionWater Sanitation HygieneCoordination and Support Services211205.38768552.91979758.29Afghanistan Humanitarian FundRelief International489879.15Afghanistan Humanitarian FundRelief International393358.37Afghanistan Humanitarian FundRelief InternationalAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/SA2/H-N-APC/INGO/6860United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Medical, Nutrition and Protection assistance to hard to reach populations of Kunar provinceThe intervention proposed by PU-AMI intends to provide an integrated approach to address comprehensive needs identified in Kunar province, in the eastern region of Afghanistan. With over ten years of experience in the area, in the implementation of health, nutrition and PFA activities, PU-AMI has acquired a sound knowledge of the needs of the populations. Strong of its historic and diverse presence on several regions of the country, PU-AMI has built a strong knowledge and understanding of the conflict dynamics as well as a comprehensive network with different stakeholders from communities to central government authorities.
In a mountainous and rural area where multiple AOGs affect the everyday life of the populations, access to essential healthcare is severely impacted. Numerous IDPs have left their area of origin to flee from conflict, which has dire consequences on their well-being, both at physical and psychological level. The Protection Community Assessment in Nangarhar, carried out by a variety of NGOs, including PU-AMI, and coordinated by UNHCR collected data in late 2016. This assessment highlighted some of the numerous protection concerns among IDPs, returnees and host communities. Given Kunar and Nangarhar are neighboring provinces with similar challenges (mountainous and rural terrain, bordering Pakistan, presence of AOGs, displacements), conclusions drawn for Nangarhar can be considered to also be applicable for Kunar province.
Furthermore, poverty and displacement also lead to a high malnutrition rate: with a 16.2% global acute malnutrition rate (Nutrition cluster data), the situation in Kunar province breaches the emergency threshold.
PU-AMI is a well-known and recognized humanitarian actor in the area and therefore benefits of access to hard to reach areas, where humanitarian needs are the highest.
PU-AMI has extensive experience and expertise in health, and will thus create, equip and maintain four FATPs (First aid trauma posts) to address emergency trauma needs in 4 existing HF while also establishing four SHC (Sub Health Centers) and one MHT (Mobile Health Team) through which primary healthcare, mother and childcare and immunization services will be provided.
The SHC and MHT will act as an entry point for the provision of nutrition and protection services. Indeed, the provision of protection services is still negatively perceived, therefore, the use of health as a motivation to gather beneficiaries is an ideal method especially since the need for psychological first aid or psychosocial services will most often not be identified by the beneficiary himself.
Special attention will be given to women, though the hiring of female staff in each team, dedicated PFA and PSS services, as well as to children U5, through the provision of nutrition services.

The project has been designed based on a needs assessment conducted by a team comprised of male and female experts.
While addressing nutrition and protection needs, the project will also ensure access to equitable emergency trauma care to war victims in both provinces to 21,764 (including 3,085 men, 3,347 women) in the target provinces which has been based on the existing data source. This will be done through: 1) the provision of trauma care services by upgrading ShahJoy DH (hiring 1 Orthopedic Surgeon, 1 male and 1 female nurse and 4 support staff, construction of 8 rooms) and establishing 3 integrated FATPs in both provinces: (1 integrated FATP attached to a BHC in Daychopan of Zabul and two integrated FATPs attached to Waghaz and Wali Mohammad Shaheed CHCs in Ghazni Province). Apart from construction of 3 rooms for Waghaz CHC, the support to these health facilities will also involve supply of medical/non-medical equipment, staffing and medical and non-medical equipment and supplies to cover extra needs linked to conflicts 3) Capacity building of staff involved.
Why the proposed interventions are important and how they will be implemented?
The insecurity of these the target districts have left their population in desperate need for emergency trauma care, nutrition and protection (addressing immediate needs of GBV survivors).
Health:
Shahjoy DH upgrading: Although WHO has recently provided enough equipment to this hospital, yet there is continuing need because it is located on the main war zone where skirmishes usually take place by AOGs. The burden due to war has constrained the ability of the target HFs in having sufficient medical and non-medical equipment and supplies. In addition, the existing infrastructure gaps in Waghaz and Shahjoy has seriously restricted quality service delivery.
A total 25 staff (at least 10 of them female) will be trained on various topics. The training will involve triage, trauma care, and basic lifesaving interventions. In addition, infection prevention and waste management trainings will also constitute topics of the trainings.
Nutrition:
To promote awareness on nutrition , ORCD will deploy 8 community mobilizer, 4 male and 4 female each couple will be working in the coverage area of related health facility. In addition, aimed at easing access to services a mobile team will be functionalized. The community mobilizers will tackle demand side factors, they will focus on strengthening the community-based nutrition interventions i.e. referrals, and improving Infant Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices. To improve supply side factors. ORCD will hire 4 additional nutrition nurses preferably females at HF level who will be involved in the treatment of acute malnutrition and screening and growth monitoring of all under five children.
Protection/GBV
To respond the protection needs, ORCD will mobilize 8 community mobilizers (4 male and 4 female) to work with the community elders, policy department, etc. to enhance awareness about GBV in order to respond to, prevent and refer GBV survivors/victims. ORCD will upgrade the capacity of the target HFs in terms of hiring psychosocial counselors and nurses (1 per each HF) to enable them to provide psychosocial counseling support to GBV survivors, undertake clinical management and provide advanced and specialized services.
Considering our experience in Ghazni, the construction work will start early in March in Zabul and will be completed before end of the project.

The project will contribute to the SO-1 and SO-4 that include health cluster objectives 1 and 2, nutrition cluster objective 1 and protection cluster objective 1.
The services will be provided through 6 mobile health teams (MHT) in 4 priority districts: Arghestan, Khakrez, Maywand and Shahwalikote.
The standard activities will be:
1. Improve essential live-saving trauma care activities in health facilities including through the provision of rehabilitative care and psychosocial support in emergencies.
2. Provide PHC services in underserved cluster designated ‘white areas’ as well as temporary and mobile services specifically initiated to address the needs of communities with high concentrations of returnees and IDPs.
3. Provision of Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) for children 6-59 months, pregnant and lactating women in hard to reach, underserved areas where IDPs have yet to be assisted.
4. Provision of preventative services (Infant and Young Child Feeding promotion and counselling and micronutrient supplementation) for children 6-59 months, pregnant and lactating women in hard to reach, underserved where IDPs have yet to be assisted.
5. Mobile outreach protection services to women, men, girls and boys principled referrals and psychosocial support to conflict affected people.
6. Provision of protection services (including health, psychosocial, legal and safety) to GBV survivors and children abused or exploited by armed groups and armed forces.
During the needs assessment, AHDS had consultations with the stakeholders the communities, local authorities, NGOs and UN agencies. The location for each MHT was chosen and updated in coordination with stakeholders. Further inputs and advices of the stakeholders are welcome they will be used for further improvement of the project.
Estimated direct beneficiary is 37,978 including 37,927 populations in the target communities and 51 staff.
The MHTs will have properly trained staffed, required equipment and supplies, and ambulance for transfer of the victims.
A Community Shura will be established for each MHT members will be oriented about project objectives and activities, services available, early reporting mechanisms, timely transfer of the victims/survivors, and follow up.
MOUs will be signed with the referral points (for consultation, referral, quick response and feedback).
Project staff will participate in all meetings and other events initiated by Health, Nutrition and Protection clusters in Kandahar.
The project is designed to contribute significantly to gender equality. Data and information will be segregated gender and age wise to ensure a good analysis of outputs and outcomes based on gender aspects.
MoPH national waste management and infection prevention policies ensure minimizing environmental hazard. The services and staff will be managed in a very user friendly manner to avoid any direct or indirect harm.
The total staff will be 51 including project manager, admin and finance officer, logistic officer and support staff in the office as well as 42 staff in the 6 MHTs. Each MHT will have: a doctor, a female midwife, a nutrition nurse, a female psychosocial counselor, a vaccinator, a driver and a guard. Two extra nurses will be on call to replace any staff on leave.
The total required budget is USD $569,414.
Exit: if the security becomes better, the catchment areas of these MHTs could be covered by BPHS. We hope that before end of this ERP the peace negotiations reach to a positive result. Integration to BPHS will be sought with GCMU and BPHS implementer.

6. PHC in Hilmand with RMNCH
NUTRITION
The Public Nutrition Department of MOPH with support from UNICEF and WHO have observed that the existing TFU's were in a poor state and required urgent attention. The project will strengthen operational and staff’s functional capacity in 33 sites (32 existing and 1 new site in Uruzgan). 33 TFU’s will undergo assessment followed by functional upgrading, through the procurement of F-75/F-100 milk preparation kits, kitchen items, cold chain, warming system, bed side chairs for caretakers, thus ensuring the quality and efficient continuity of services provided by the TFUs. 12 targeted TFU’s identified through assessment will undergo Rehabilitation of water, hygiene, sanitation and environmental health systems and establishment of breastfeeding corners. The nutrition activities will complement the improving health service provision in the 16 priority districts in addition to the 29 high risk districts.
WASH
This project mainly focuses on improvement of WASH in the healthcare facilities that lack safe water sources as well as sanitation facilities. The assessment findings conducted in 2016 indicates that targeted health facilities that do not meet the least WASH standards. The facilities will be part of the support for Nutrition and Health services. The project will contribute to maintaining the minimum WASH standards at health facilities. The targeted health facilities are located in the hard-to-reach districts containing vulnerable and deprived population (IDPs, returnees, vulnerable host communities) that are in pressing need for humanitarian assistance e.g. WASH, health, nutrition and etc). The project will also seek to determine the strategic WASH needs of the facilities as well as the neighboring communities.
Protection
In this proposal GBV training for healthcare worker will be support in all 16 priority districts and 29 high risk districts. Comprehensive training on GBV Treatment Protocol will be provided to 200 healthcare providers.

ACF aims also to enhance coordinated needs assessments in Afghanistan through integrated multi sectoral assessments in the hard to reach provinces of Faryab, Ghazni, Kunar, Kunduz, Nangarhar, Paktika, Uruzgan and Zabul.
The first part of the proposed action is an integrated WASH, Nutrition, Health, FS and MHCP approach aimed at addressing the underlying cause of child deaths in the area (diarrheal diseases, treatment of acute malnutrition). The overall objective and approach envisioned both fits in ACF mission strategy, which is geared towards reducing morbidity and mortality amongst U5 children, and support integrated programming. The focus on WASH, Nutrition, FS and Protection in addition to aligning with national humanitarian priorities, corresponds to ACF fields of expertise. ACF is internationally recognized for its technical know-how and field experience in successfully implementing integrated projects with specific expertise on Nutrition, WASH, MHCP and FS. In country, ACF is one of the leading members of the WASH and Nutrition Clusters.
In addressing malnutrition ACF directly implement IMAM activities. Two mobile teams will be deployed covering 14 sites, conduct screening of U5 children, and treat SAM children. More over the mobile team activity includes treating of MAM children, IMNCI and Acute Malnourished PLW. The teams will also provide health education, IYCF messages and psychosocial counseling to mothers and caretakers.
To increase access to safe drinking water, ACF will work in both IDPs, institutions and host communities for the construction of new water points or the rehabilitation of the existing boreholes. ACF will also distribute BioSand Filters to the HH settled in areas to safe drinking water with reported case of diarrhea and the water quality is poor / not respecting the minimum quality standards. ACF will distributed hygiene kits for women and girls reflecting mainstreamed protection principles where distributions are sensitized to minimize risks of GBV.
With the ongoing conflict in Helmand, many people including children are displaced and have settled in the provincial capital Lashkargah and as a result, many schools are overcrowded. The children are at risk of contracting diarrhea diseases due to poor hygiene and sanitation. For maximum impact on reducing the incidence of diarrheal diseases, the project will also work towards sustainable positive behavior changes in care practices related to personal hygiene with a strong focus on hand-washing with soap. ACF will use various “dissemination stations”, as many entry points for transmission of knowledge on optimal hygiene practices, in a bid to reach out to the largest population. Community leaders will be actively involved in the process to act as “education stations” to support durable behavior change. These dissemination stations will also be utilized as distribution points for GBV messages to generate awareness and link to available community services.
The proposed intervention seeks to provide FS survival assistance through unconditional cash distribution to food insecure prolonged IDP HH affected by conflict disaster enduring prolonged periods of displacement (6 months to 2 years) and with it, enhanced vulnerability. The cash distribution will be based on guideline on FSAC cluster food basket and the FSAC Cluster HRP guidance.
The 2nd part of the project aims to support the Clusters and BPHS IPs in addressing current humanitarian data gaps and making informed strategic programming decisions. It shall be done through the conduction of 8 multi-sectoral assessments (SMART – Nutrition, Health, FSL and WASH), 2 Rapid SMART and 2 SQUEAC in the targeted provinces.Action Contre la FaimAction Contre la FaimPUIAADACordaid/AHDSOHPMORCDORCD/MRRCAAfghanistan Humanitarian FundKinga KOMOROWSKACountry Director0799566128cd@af.missions-acf.org Mansoor AhmedDeputy Country Director0799017736dcd@af.missions-acf.orgAnne RousselFinance Head of Department+93 (0) 778 179 248admin@af.missions-acf.orgFaryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Food SecurityNutritionProtectionWater Sanitation HygieneCoordination and Support Services231424.851388549.081619973.93Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim647989.57Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim647989.57Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim281751.63Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la FaimAfghanistan BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-17/3481/SA2/WASH-FSAC-APC/NGO/6825United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProvision of WASH, Food Security (Cash transfer) and Protection assistance for IDPs and Returnees families in Khas Kuner district of Kuner province and Khugiani district of Nangrahar provinceThe proposed project will provide Assistance under

Nine villages in Tirinkot were identified (Chalamgar, Da yek, Khairo kariz, New Kalacha, Now bahar, Serchakhlo, Talani, Tori, and, Zara kalach) where IDPs are living difficult circumstances and do not have access to sufficient quantities of safe water, engage in open defecation (OD) due to the lack of suitable sanitation facilities, and have little knowledge on proper hygiene and nutrition practices in emergency situations. The proposed project will reach 20,719 conflict IDPs (5,255 Families) and 37,196 underserved host community members (9,677 Families), ensuring that they have: 1) improved access to a safe water supply 2) improved access to adequate sanitation facilities 3) opportunities to practice safe hygiene and nutrition behaviors 4) an increased knowledge of protection principals and, 5) an increased knowledge of mine risks. Water sources in the target areas are unsafe, as they can be both unprotected (where they present a hazard to people and animals in the area), contain contaminated water, and be over-stressed. To meet the need for a sufficient and safe water supply, existing broken wells will be rehabilitated and new wells will be established. 170 individuals will have access to each water point. Placement of water points within the communities will reduce the burden on women and girls, who currently spend on average more than 20 minutes one-way to reach a water point. The continued functioning of the water points will be managed through local volunteer mechanics, who will be identified and trained in the operation and maintenance of the water systems, and through local caretakers. Water supply networks and wells will be rehabilitated in one health clinic and in four public schools. The installation of lockable latrines, with hand washing facilities, in IDP shelters will mitigate the spread of WASH-related diseases, ensure the privacy and security of women and children, and provide easy access for disabled persons and the elderly. Targeted households with disability and elderly people and will receive WASH services accordingly. Bathing facilities will be constructed to ensure the personal hygiene, health, dignity and well-being of project beneficiaries. Access to adequate sanitation facilities in the target clinic and schools, existing latrines will be rehabilitated. Awareness sessions will promote both hygiene and nutrition awareness and practices leading to health risk reduction. Hygiene sessions will focus on diarrhoea prevention strategies, discouraging open defecation, critical times to wash hands with soap, menstrual hygiene management, safe household water treatment, food hygiene, and 995 sessions will focus on nutrition promotion. 5,255 IDPs will receive hygiene kits. During kit distributions, orientation on the correct utilisation of the items in the kits will take place. To improve access to nutrition services, children six to 59 months will be screened and a referral system established with health centre run by the NGO operating in Tirinkot, the Afghanistan Health and Development Services (AHDS). In order to create a protective environment, awareness sessions on conflict and gender sensitivity will be organised. Mine risk education (MRE) will take place. This application is a joint proposal in line with NCA’s partnership approach to build the capacity of national civil society organisations and to ensure transparent oversight and accountability during project implementation.Norwegian Church AidNorwegian Church AidNorwegian Project Office/Rural Rehabilitation Association (NPO/RRAA)Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConnie ShealyCountry Director+93.766.702.450connie.shealy@nca.noTariq GhulamWASH Coordinator+93.766.755.286ghulam.tariq@nca.noZabiullah AmiriFinance Manager+93.775.025.384zabiullah.amiri@nca.noUruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630NutritionProtectionWater Sanitation Hygiene135203.79548326.46683530.25Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Church Aid273412.10Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Church Aid273412.10Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Church Aid136706.05Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Church Aid17456.16Norwegian Church AidUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs874.32Norwegian Church AidUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan BI 2017
